@ Bjorkliden Mountain Lodge
Tucked into the untouched wilds of Swedish Lapland, Björkliden Mountain Resort is more than a mountain retreat—it’s a doorway into Arctic wonder. With views stretching over Lake Torneträsk and the towering peaks of Abisko National Park, this alpine escape offers snow-dusted serenity, thrilling outdoor adventures, and skies made for the Northern Lights.
Redefining Luxury in Swedish Lapland
Luxury here isn’t about formality, it’s about the Northern Lights from your balcony, the sound of snow beneath your boots, and the freedom to shape each day around your own rhythm. At Björkliden, nature leads and Off the Map Travel ensures every detail follows your dreams.
Why Choose Björkliden?
At Björkliden, nature is the luxury. Whether you’re skiing on the slopes under the polar twilight, taking in the silence of a snowshoe trail, or watching the aurora ripple above your cabin, every moment connects you to the landscape in its rawest, most beautiful form.
Perfect for couples, families, or groups looking to blend comfort with high adventure, this is Swedish Lapland at its most authentic.
We don’t do “off the shelf”, your experience at Björkliden is shaped around how you want to explore the Arctic.
Crafted Just for You
From the lodge to the wilderness, everything at Björkliden can be tailored to your desires. Prefer cosy evenings by the fire after a day on the slopes? Or sunrise dogsled rides followed by sauna soaks and hearty Nordic meals? We’ll design your stay to match your style and energy.
Your stay includes:
- A choice of hotel rooms, mountain cabins, or private apartments
- Aurora viewings, either from the resort or on guided expeditions to Abisko
- Optional skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, or husky safaris

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
We have loved it so much here that we have extended our stay and will come back to Bjornfjell and stay in one of their cabins until Jan 3 then we are staying in the igloo hotel the night of the 3rd. 😊We added a few excursions this week – we did the whale trip on the RIB boat (wow!), toured the igloo hotel (which is why we decided to book the last night!) and did the reindeer sleigh at Sorrisniva. You were so right, the bonfire excursion was incredible!!It has been an absolutely amazing trip!
Kristen
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
We really enjoyed our Norwegian adventure despite the -22 days! Unfortunately no real experience of viewing the Lights but we did capture a couple of images on our last night – too much cloud otherwise so lots of snow. We really enjoyed the husky lodge – not at all what we had tentatively imagined. Thanks for your assistance, maybe next time we will see the Lights in all their glory.
Andrew
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
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.
Alex
What an amazing trip we are having. It is incredible. Many many thanks for arranging such an incredible trip.
Giles
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
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
Hello Lucy!! Kim and I had a fantastic time in Iceland! Probably one of my top 3 trips I’ve ever taken!
It was everything we asked for and you did a wonderful job coordinating it all so beautifully!!
Thank you very much and we will contact you again when we get ready to plan our trip to Norway and Lapland!
Doreen
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.

Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
