One beautiful Swedish house - and a million reasons to stay
Discover Norrbotten - a symphony of nature. Explore mountains and valleys, sandy beaches and rocky shores, rivers, reefs and islands, desolate yet beautiful landscapes, glaciers, deep primeval forests and iridescent vistas, cascades of light and water...
Summer and winter, Norrbotten is a place to step back into nature in serene isolation, where the sun shines in a blaze of blue sky. You can enjoy the moon and the midnight sun all at once, and savour the wide expanses and limitless horizons. Simply drink in the peacefulness and enjoy it to the last drop!
Norrbotten is home to 8 national parks and 180 nature reserves. There are just 2 people per square km (compared to the European average of 118). It has 3 World Heritage Sites including Laponia, Europe's largest continuous natural landscape. Flora and fauna abound, elk, moose and reindeer wander freely, and trees stand etched in splendour on a white snow canvas or lush green landscape.
Enjoy the extremes
You'll find Sweden's highest mountain, Mt Kebnekaise (2104m) and its deepest lake, Lake Hornavan. Inuit (Eskimo) and Sámi people (Lapps) inhabit the land, and great artists revel in painting in this northern light - because of its remarkable consistency.
Norrbotten is one of the best extreme activity and adventure locations in the world, with temperatures up to 29°C in summer and down to -25°C in winter. Its clean, dry air promotes good health and attracts visitors young and old. The dry air makes the winter temperatures much more enjoyable, too. You can enjoy a host of different sports and pursuits, and in midwinter when it's dark at about 2.15pm, the floodlights go on for many sports - so you can ski at most times.
Drive anywhere
The unpressurised road system is ideal for getting around. All the main roads and motorways are open 12 months of the year, and hire cars have metal-studded tyres fitted in winter (November-May), which means you can drive almost anywhere in the snow throughout the winter.
If you're staying longer, why not travel north to the Arctic Circle and the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) or visit the ice palaces? You can even reach St Petersburg in Russia in a day, and a stopover in Stockholm on your way out or on your return journey makes for an interesting contrast.
Find out how to get here. But be careful - once you're here, you may not want to go home.
