Keeping Cool in Sweden

Your holiday break begins in Sweden’s beautiful capital, Stockholm – the capital of life and movement. Stockholm is built on 14 islands, all part of an archipelago. Sweden’s capital is charming, vibrant and surrounded by beauty and water – hence its nickname, Venice of the North. After enjoying an urban lifestyle in Stockholm continue north – 200km inside the Arctic Circle to the last wilderness of Europe – Abisko. After that the world famous Icehotel awaits you. Ten thousand years ago, glaciers carved a riverbed and the Torne River was born. Since then, the crystal-clear, pure water of the Torne River has flowed freely along its 600 kilometer path through Lapland out to the sea in the southeast. With the Icehotel 365, this amazing experience is available all year around. Thanks to the long days in the north, all energy for the new building is produced by solar panels. Meaning the Icehotel 365 is cooled by the sun.
