Tips for the guides (optional)
The itinerary 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 rolling fells.
On our tours, you’ll hike along well-maintained trails through tranquil nature, with magnificent 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, just in reasonably good shape. The hikes are manageable, there are always breaks, and we keep the group size small on purpose so we can adjust the pace. Many participants have little outdoor experience—the only thing that matters is enjoying being active in nature.
You'll receive a packing list in advance. For your summer vacation, you'll mainly need comfortable clothes, sturdy shoes, a rain jacket, and swimwear.
We provide canoes, SUPs, fishing gear, and safety equipment on-site. If you're not sure what you really need, we'd be happy to help.
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, crisp air, and plenty of space away from the major tourist destinations.

Relaxation after exercise – Hot tub in Sweden
