There are lots of exciting experiences to immerse yourself in when it comes to visiting Swedish Lapland. With this suggested itinerary you’ll find yourself high up in the Arctic Circle and learning about local Sami survival skills, searching for the aurora, and spending some time at Camp Ripan before heading to the famous Icehotel to spend a night in one of its Art Suites.
This itinerary is just a starting point—a flavour of what’s possible. Whether you want to tweak the pace, upgrade your hotel, or deepen the culinary immersion, we’ll design your perfect trip from scratch.
Arrive into the quirky Arctic city of Kiruna and settle into your cosy chalet at Camp Ripan. Keep an eye on the skies for your first glimpse of the flickering Aurora!
There are plenty of activities to take part in during your stay – our Nordic Experience Curators have put together some suggestions on this trip for you but there are plenty of others to choose from and change too.
Today you’ll immerse yourself in the Sami Survival skills. In the evening, pay a visit to the rejuvenating Aurora Spa and learn the traditional Sauna Ritual the Swedish way!
Meet the Arctic’s most iconic creature – the Reindeer! Learn all about their important role in the harsh Arctic climate. Afterwards, you’ll take a transfer to the village of Jukkasjarvi – home to the world famous ICEHOTEL! Here, you’ll spend a night sleeping sub-zero in your very own uniquely designed Art Suite!
Take a tour of the ICEHOTEL before your private transfer back to the airport for your return journey home, or perhaps you want to extend your stay? Speak to our Nordic Experience Curators about other exciting options you might like to consider.

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.
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.
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!
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!
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!
Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.
