Arctic Snowshoeing & Nordic Culture
When you're this close to the Arctic Circle, you're likely far, far away from home. You've been transported to a winter wonderland where smoked game and hot lingonberry juice are on the menu. Pristine and snowy landscapes amaze as you trek through Swedish and Finnish Lapland. And where else can you gaze at the northern lights and snuggle into a bedroom sculpted from ice and snow?
Highlights
- Snowshoe in one of Northern Europe's most stunning regions, trekking through glittering snow and ice, reminiscent of Narnia
- Chase the dancing hues of the aurora borealis in some of the world's best places for spotting this mesmerizing natural phenomenon
- Discover insights into Sámi, Swedish and Finnish culture while warming your hands over open fires, enjoying a sauna and meeting resident reindeer
- Unwind in magical hotels—sleep in a unique ice sculpture at the Icehotel and view the captivating sky from your private glass cabin

We want to make sure you're on the trip that's right for you. Every Backroads trip is unique and this one is no exception.
This trip includes travel on a commercial flight so that we can explore the best of your destination. Please note that flight schedules can change with little advance warning, which may require us to adjust our activities on a travel day. Your Trip Leaders will provide more details on any changes should this occur.
Our journey through Nordic Lapland is a magical adventure full of the planet's most remarkable natural treasures. Northern lights are an incredible natural phenomenon and as such, are unpredictable. The probability of sightings are affected by weather, the phase of the moon and many other factors, so sightings are not guaranteed (our experience has been 50/50).
Luxury Lapland-style means modern, simple and uniquely appointed rooms. Due to the remoteness of our properties, breakfasts tend to be a local buffet-style affair, and dinners are pre-ordered with limited-choice menus, which is simply a part of the cultural experience.
To access the best routes and most unique hotels in this expansive region, we've incorporated multiple shuttles into your itinerary.
