Northern Sweden
Northern Sweden is a vast landscape of towering alpine peaks and endless vistas of pine forest, Polar plains, meadows and glaciers. Its eastern edge is fringed by a rolling coastline, peppered by islands and skerries. No description of Northern Sweden is complete without mentioning Swedish Lapland - Europe’s last remaining wilderness.
Lovers of the outdoors life will love northern Sweden’s legendary national parks; Abisko and Sarek being two outstanding examples. Northern Sweden is also the ancestral home of the Sami, the indigenous people of the region, whose unique traditions and culture thankfully thrive today. Bear, elk, the wolverine, the golden eagle and the rare Arctic Fox have their home here in Northern Sweden. As if these natural riches were not enough, this the land of the Midnight Sun and the staggeringly beautiful Northern Lights,
We could go on – and on.
Leave the world behind in Swedish Lapland
What makes Swedish Lapland unique and so special is that it is the last unspoiled wilderness in Europe. You can experience these Arctic Circle landscapes, flora and fauna in their natural state.
Lapland, Sweden
In the Lapland region in the far north of Sweden, you can find the most vast,
dramatic and spectacular untamed wilderness areas that Europe has to offer.
Sami people - The native Scandinavians
The Sami people live in the far north of the Scandinavian peninsula. They are Europe´s only indigenous people, and one of the smallest in terms of population, numbering only around 75,000 - of which 20,000 live in Sweden.
The coast that keeps rising from the sea
The High Coast on the Baltic shore in the Västerbotten and Ångermanland provinces of northeastern Sweden is included in Unesco’s World Heritage list for its unique and highly scenic land and seascape, with a coastline and islands that rise steeply and dramatically from the sea.
