@ Arctic Retreat
Hidden deep within the forest beside the Råne River, Arctic Retreat is a secluded log cabin sanctuary where comfort meets the call of the wild. With just a handful of timber cabins, this off-grid haven invites you to disconnect from the ordinary and reconnect with nature on your terms. With Off the Map Travel, every stay is a bespoke experience, tailored to your pace, passions, and sense of adventure.
Why Stay at Arctic Retreat?
This isn’t simply a getaway, it’s a return to something essential. Whether you’re drawn by the crackle of firewood, the hush of falling snow, or the golden calm of summer light, Arctic Retreat delivers rare stillness and extraordinary moments. Every stay is a story shaped by you.
Where Stillness Meets Storytelling
Your cabin is just the beginning. At Arctic Retreat, we’ll work with you to design a personalised itinerary, from active Arctic adventures to mindful, slow-living rituals, crafted entirely around what moves you.
Expect:
- Cosy, private log cabins with wood-burning stoves and riverside hot tubs
- Tailor-made activities such as snowshoeing, canoeing, or husky sledding
- Locally inspired cuisine, prepared with seasonal ingredients and Sami flavours
- Unmatched access to silence and scenery, under the Northern Lights or Midnight Sun
Swedish Lapland, Your Way
Whether you crave stillness, movement, or a little of both, we’ll tailor your retreat to feel effortless and unforgettable.
Tailor-made experiences might include:
- Northern Lights viewings by dogsled, snowmobile or from your own hot tub
- Private husky safaris, designed to match your energy and experience
- Cultural encounters with Sami communities for meaningful local insight
- Summer forest bathing, wild swimming or guided canoe journeys through untouched wilderness

The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
Sophie & Guy
Arctic Retreat was simply magical. Graham and his team were superb. Their entire focus was on ensuring we had an outstanding experience. The accommodation, setting and food were all excellent. The team, experienced professionals, each brought their own personal touch and local nuance. It was faultless. The dog sledging trip directly from Arctic Retreat was also superb. We would return to Arctic Retreat in a heartbeat.
George
We originally hired Off the Map Travel in 2020 to set up a trip to see the Northern Lights. That didn’t happen, thanks to COVID. But, we persisted and in March of 2023, we took a 16-day trip that included both Iceland and Norway. IT WAS MAGICAL! Off the Map took care of everything! We were pampered at every stage of our trip. The people they hired and the activities they planned added up to a trip that will set the standard for any we’ll ever take in the future. Alex and his team were fabulous! We recommend them without restraint!
Jim & Kris
We did! Everything was truly wonderful! I think the Holman Husky Lodge was our favourite place. Beautiful accommodations, but best of all, wonderful people! Everyone was so friendly and accommodating, excellent food, we really enjoyed our time there. We also greatly enjoyed Bergen! Opus XVI was beautiful and we loved being able to walk to restaurants and bars and take in the sights. All of our drivers were punctual and friendly. The itinerary was full but not overfull.
Thank you so much! It was an epic trip, we are taking home wonderful memories!
Shelly
Fantastic trip to Svalbard which delivered the true Arctic experience we were hoping for. The hotels were excellent and the activities – dog sledding and snowmobile expedition were lead by first class guides.
Top tip! The champagne tasting in the world’s most northerly wine cellar in the exceptional Funken Lodge is not to be missed!
Faith
What an amazing trip we are having. It is incredible. Many many thanks for arranging such an incredible trip.
Giles

Thank you very much and we will contact you again when we get ready to plan our trip to Norway and Lapland!
Doreen
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
Rosie
Amy planned a fantastic trip! Everything was very well-thought out. All transfers went smoothly, accommodations were amazing, great restaurant recommendations and the tours were once-in-a-lifetime, can’t book it yourself off the internet experiences. The guides were all fantastic. Communications were prompt and everything worked exactly the way it was supposed to. What a pleasure! Already working on our next trip.

Exceptional service throughout the entire planning and booking process – travel agencies don’t get any better than this. A brilliant, seamless experience matched by the holiday experience itself. Would recommend ‘Off the Map Travel’ to anyone considering booking for a Nordic experience ‘par excellence’.
Chris
Well-organized trip to Norway and Svalbard with great accommodations and activities. Gwen was communicative and responsive to requests. Highly recommend!
Russell Snook
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
