Experience Sweden in winter at this magical wonderland surrounding Taiga Forest Lodge in Swedish Lapland. Enjoy the breathtaking forests on your own or together with local guides and experts in the near by area. Here we have collected things to do around Taiga Forest Lodge to fully embrace Sweden in winter. From easy self guided activities to guided tours with Mikael and Emma at the Lodge or with other professional guides in the near by area.
Explore the surrounding area on skis and snowshoes. We keep the snow trails open for you to follow trough the pine forest and over the frozen mires.
Take the traditional kick sled to the nearby village Nilivaara. You kick the sled on the icy roads and experince the silent winter lanscape just like people in the area have done for more than 100 years.
Have the dinner outside in the frozen snowfilled garden. Enjoy the silence & the heat from the open fire on warm reindeer skins together under the stars.
Taiga Forest Lodge is a perfect place for Aurora spotting. Here in the middle of the forest with very few lights there is a good chance to both see and photograph the Northerns Lights.
This is the most fun for both kids and grown ups. To race down the hills with sleds is what kids do all winter in Swedish Lapland.
