Tips for the guides (volunteers)
The schedule may change depending on the weather—we tailor each tour to the conditions so that you always have the best possible experience.
Pieljekaise National Park is located in the heart of Swedish Lapland, just south of the Arctic Circle. It is known for its vast birch forests, crystal-clear lakes, and gentle fells.
On our tours, you’ll hike along well-maintained trails through tranquil nature, with stunning views of the mountain landscape. The park is easily accessible and suitable for both beginners and experienced outdoor enthusiasts.
You don’t need to be particularly athletic, but a normal, basic level of fitness is required. The hikes are manageable, there are always breaks, and the group size is kept small on purpose so we can adjust the pace. Many participants have little outdoor experience—the only thing that matters is the joy of being active in nature.
You will receive a packing list in advance. For a summer vacation, you'll mainly need comfortable clothing, sturdy shoes, a rain jacket, and swimwear.
We provide canoes, SUPs, fishing gear, and safety equipment on site. If you’re unsure about what you really need, we’d be happy to advise you.
An active vacation in Sweden means, above all, being outdoors, staying active, and spending time in nature. Especially in the north, around Arjeplog in Lapland, summer offers ideal conditions for an outdoor vacation in Sweden —with long days, clear air, and plenty of space away from the major tourist destinations.
Active Vacations in Lapland & Guided Tours of Lapland
An active vacation in Lapland combines physical activity with tranquility. Guided tours in Lapland take you through forests, along lakes, and into remote areas where everyday life seems far away. The focus is not on speed or performance, but on experiencing the landscape and spending time outdoors.
Rent a canoe in Sweden & get out on the water
Anyone looking to rent a canoe in Sweden during the summer will find ideal conditions in Lapland. Lakes and rivers offer peaceful routes for day trips or multi-day tours. Whether as part of an active vacation in Sweden or as a standalone activity—being out on the water is a staple of the Nordic summer.
Pieljekaise National Park – Hiking Off the Beaten Path
Pieljekaise National Park is located near Arjeplog and is one of Sweden’s quieter national parks. It is particularly well-suited for hikes as part of an active vacation in Lapland. Vast landscapes, ridges, and little-used trails make it a special destination for nature lovers.
Active Vacations & Adventure Vacations in Sweden
An adventure vacation in Sweden doesn’t have to be loud or extreme. Many guests are looking for an adventure vacation in Sweden that combines physical activity, nature, and simple experiences. Hiking, canoeing, cooking outdoors, or sitting together by the lake in the evening are classic parts of an active vacation in Sweden for many.
Relaxation after exercise – hot tub in Sweden
After an active day outdoors, relaxation is just as important. A hot tub in Sweden—often right by the lake—is a simple way to unwind. Especially in the summer, it rounds out an active vacation in Lapland with a quiet, relaxing end to the day.
Active Vacations in Sweden – Connecting with Nature Consciously
Whether it’s an active vacation in Sweden, an active vacation in Lapland, or an outdoor vacation in Sweden —the key factor isn’t the number of activities, but the interplay of movement, nature, and time. This is exactly what Lapland offers ideal conditions for in the summer.
