Here's what a personalized trip to Lapland might look like.

Five friends from our school days were looking for an exclusive adventure to tackle together. We were dropped off in the wilderness by helicopter. This was followed by a challenging three-day hut-to-hut hike through the spectacular landscape of northern Sweden, including a skinny-dipping session in an ice-cold mountain lake. Afterward, we spent a few relaxing days at Villa Björklund, enjoying SUP on the lake, the midnight sun, deep conversations, and our first fish we caught ourselves.
Exclusive & Custom-Made

Four entrepreneurs from Munich wanted to completely unwind for a few days. So a helicopter took us deep into the mountains. From there, we hiked on snowshoes to a remote wilderness cabin, even crossing the border into Norway along the way. Chopping wood, drilling ice holes, fetching water, cooking together, and having long conversations by the fireplace. Four days of complete tranquility and the Northern Lights over the snow-covered landscape. A reset for teams with big plans.

A family from Cologne wanted to spend time together—parents, adult children, and their partners. They spent their first night in the picturesque Norwegian port city of Bodø. After that, they spent a week at our cozy Villa Björklund in Lapland, a lakeside home surrounded by nature. A canoe trip, hikes together, picking blueberries in the forest, campfires, outdoor BBQs, and relaxation in the panoramic sauna made this trip a special family experience.
Spending time with loved ones

An author from Austria came to visit us in Lapland because she was stuck in a creative rut. The ideas just wouldn’t come anymore. She spent two weeks at Villa Björklund by the lake, surrounded by nothing but nature, silence, and wide-open spaces. During the day, she went on long hikes through the forests, encountered reindeer and moose, and spent a lot of time outdoors. Slowly, inspiration returned. By the end of her trip, the house was filled with flipcharts, notes, and new ideas. Lapland became a place where creativity could flourish once again.
creative & personalized

A well-known musician was looking for something that had become rare for him: peace and anonymity. The trip began with a little preparation: “How to act like a normal person.” Dressed in hiking clothes from a thrift store, with a beard, sunglasses, and a cap, he traveled with me—his first time flying economy class—from the big city to our place. No VIP treatment. No attention. At our lakeside villa in Björklund, he could just be normal. We spent a lot of time outdoors, fishing, laughing, crying, and drinking canned beer. At the end of the stay, he said, “I felt so normal.” And that was exactly what he had been looking for.
Maximum discretion & being normal

A politician and her husband wanted to escape their daily routine for a week. In the picturesque winter landscape of Lapland, they found exactly the peace and quiet they had been looking for. Ice bathing and a sauna on the frozen lake were included. While she often made herself comfortable by the fireplace with a book, I was out and about with her husband, ice fishing or trying our luck hunting ptarmigan. In the evening, we met up again, filleted the fish, and her husband and I cooked together. A simple week in nature, but exactly what the two of them needed.
escape the stress of everyday life
My name is Michael, and I’ve been living in Swedish Lapland for many years. This region isn’t just where I work—it’s my new home.
With my master's degree in Sports and Adventure Management, I plan and organize customized nature trips for small groups and discerning travelers.
I speak German, English, and Swedish, and I know the region firsthand—in every season.
My strength lies in crafting a trip from a wide range of options that’s perfectly tailored to you and your travel companions.
Some guests want to be dropped off deep in the fells by helicopter and spend several days off the grid. Others are simply looking for peace and quiet, a sauna, and time with their friends or family.
Both are possible. But one thing remains constant: genuine, authentic Lapland.
“The best moments often happen where there’s no cell service.”
Here are three sample accommodations of your choice—depending on the season, availability, and tour:



















We choose accommodations that suit your style and make you feel comfortable.
Option A: Full self-catering (ideal for groups who enjoy cooking together).
Option B: We take care of everything: breakfast, packed lunches for the road, and a freshly prepared dinner featuring local specialties.
The price depends on how many days you want to travel, what activities are included, and what your budget is.
After a brief conversation, you’ll receive a transparent, personalized quote that’s truly tailored to your needs.
No surprises when you get there—you only pay for what you actually want.
Most customized trips last between 3 and 8 days, though some may be longer.Whether it’s a short getaway, a long weekend, or a full week of outdoor activities—we’ll tailor the length to your preferences and schedule.
Lapland has eight seasons. Each season has its own unique charm. During our conversation, we’ll determine whether you’re looking for, say, a summer by the lake, fall colors, winter adventures, or a spring-like winter in the fells —and suggest activities that suit your interests.
We’ll tailor your tour to suit your needs and pace.
From peaceful moments in nature to challenging mountain hikes, anything is possible—the only thing that matters is that you’re eager to get outdoors.
Lapland is all about nature, and nature sometimes has a mind of its own. If an activity can't take place, we'll adapt the day's plans as needed and find a safe, suitable alternative.
For all of our tours, I always have a Plan B up my sleeve.
You're always in good hands—and it's often on days like these that the most beautiful stories unfold.
The Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis) are visible in Sweden, particularly in the northern part of the country, between September and March. Viewing conditions are especially good on clear, dark nights between 9:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. A cloudless sky and minimal light pollution are essential. Our Villa Björklund is located in a village with 6 residents. The nearest larger towns are each 30 km away. The perfect spot for the Northern Lights. During the summer months, the Northern Lights are not visible due to the midnight sun.
