An exclusive New Year's celebration in a small group right on the Arctic Circle
Imagine starting the new year not amid the hustle and bustle, but surrounded by nature. Surrounded by silence, snow, and the vastness of Swedish Lapland. With crisp air, snow crunching underfoot, and, with a little luck, the Northern Lights above you. That’s exactly what this trip is for. For people who want to consciously get away at the turn of the year— away from everyday life, away from the noise, and into a genuine experience. On site, you’ll be accompanied by an experienced team of local guides as well as a German-speaking contact person. I’ll also be on site on select evenings to stop by and say hello.

On a snowshoe hike, you’ll explore the snow-covered mountain landscape and enjoy the silence and vastness of the Arctic Circle.
On the go
Depending on your choice, you can enjoy additional activities such as snowmobile tours, ice fishing, or a moose safari—always in small groups and with experienced guides.
Time for yourself
We intentionally leave time for rest between activities.
The sauna, the fireplace, and the unique atmosphere of the winter landscape ensure true relaxation.

On a torchlight hike through the snow-covered landscape, you'll experience the unique atmosphere of the Arctic winter even more intensely.
Spending evenings together in a small group is what makes this trip so special.
New Year's Eve at the Arctic Circle
Spend New Year's Eve far away from the noise and hustle and bustle.
Surrounded by nature, with great food and a very special atmosphere.
Perhaps under a clear starry sky—and, with a little luck, even under the dancing northern lights.
Departure
After an action-packed few days in Lapland, you’ll head home with a wealth of memories and experiences to take back with you.
Guests are divided into three small groups of up to 8 people each.
Each group stays together in a stuga and forms its own close-knit unit during the trip.
When you book, you can let us know your preferences—for example, if you’re traveling with friends, as a family, or as a couple.
We’ll take this into account when assigning rooms so that you can stay together.
This creates a pleasant blend of a personal atmosphere, small groups, and plenty of space for quiet reflection.
The first step is mainly about securing your spot on the trip.
After you submit your request, we'll send you all the details about the optional activities and prices so you can review them at your leisure.
You can then choose the additional activities at your convenience and make a binding reservation no later than two months before your arrival.
Since space is limited, we recommend that you make your decision early.
The trip combines scheduled activities for your small group with optional activities you can choose yourself.
The activities included in the price are enjoyed together with your group.
You can also book optional experiences such as snowmobile tours or other activities.
There are a limited number of spots available for these additional activities, which we’ll reserve for you in advance.
This helps us ensure that everything runs smoothly on-site.
You will receive your personalized itinerary a few weeks before your arrival—tailored to the activities you’ve chosen.
The journey begins at Arvidsjaur Airport in Swedish Lapland.
You can book your flight yourself, or we can help you with it.
Exclusive charter flights are available from several German airports during the travel period, but these cannot be booked by the general public.
We will send you the appropriate flight times and prices after receiving your request.
You'll be met at the airport and taken to the Arctic Circle along with the other guests.
The trip takes about 2.5 hours and takes you through snow-covered forests and the vast Lapland landscape—for many, the experience begins right here.
You should be in generally good physical shape for this trip.
The snowshoe hike covers several kilometers through the winter landscape and includes some elevation gain.
However, it is easily manageable for those of average fitness.
You don't have to be a professional athlete—the most important thing is that you enjoy being active outdoors and are interested in outdoor activities.

This includes daily breakfast and dinner in the restaurant, as well as packed lunches to go.
A special 3-course meal also awaits you on New Year's Eve.

You'll be staying in one of the dorms and can choose to share a room or upgrade for more privacy, depending on your preference.
The small groups quickly create an open and relaxed atmosphere where it's easy to make friends.
Especially around New Year's, many people make a conscious decision to take this trip alone.
Temperatures can vary widely in winter and usually range from around 0 to minus 30 degrees.
However, with the right clothing, it’s quite bearable.
