I'm a professional tour leader and licensed International Mountain Leader. I've always been an outdoors lover... hiking, mountaineering, rock climbing, canyoning, alpine skiing, mountain biking, surfing, and I could go on and on with a list of my passions. All of them combine to perfection with my big love for traveling, and that's what I've been doing the past few years. working as a mountain guide all the way from Nepal to the great National Parks of the Canadian Rockies and US National Parks before heading way south to explore the ends of the earth in Patagonia. Enough of introducing myself... we'll have plenty of time to get to know each other up there! Discover the beauty of this amazing snow covered world over the Arctic Circle and the interesting culture of its native people, the Samis. Hike trough birch forests in search of mooses and reindeers, snowmobile through frozen lakes to reach a hotel completely made of ice, relax with the heat of a traditional sauna... All this under the magical spectacle of the aurora borealis shining bright on the sky.

Abisko National Park
Day 8
Only an hour away this is the place where we'll most likely end up every night on our aurora hunting excursions in case there are clouds over Kiruna thanks to the micro-climate found there also know as the Abisko blue hole. Not only during the night is Abisko the place to be and that's why we'll spend a whole day over there exploring its mountains ,frozen lakes and waterfalls hiking through its beautiful birch forests.
4
Jukkasjärvi Icehotel
Day 8
Even the outside of this unique hotel is well worth a visit, made entirely with ice and right by a wide river its location is outstanding. To venture inside the ice world of rooms and corridors we can pay the entrance once there (349 SEK) or we can opt for the adrenaline lovers option and reach it after crossing the forest and the frozen river driving our own snowmobile straight from our cabin!
5
Nikkaluokta
Day 8
The road that gets to this old Sami settlement is gonna be the scenario of our winter wildlife safari so keep your eyes opened and expect a lot of stops to come back home with great pictures of the majestic animals of the Arctic Circle as the moose, the reindeer or, being very very lucky, the fast and shy arctic fox. If the weather is good enough there's and extra surprise this day!
