Sörbyn Lodge - Lapland

There are 3 reasons to come to Sörbyn Lodge. The first is this is the home town of some of the most respected wilderness guides in Swedish Lapland. The second is Sörbyn serves outstanding food, attracting locals from miles around. The restaurant draws inspiration from Lapland and uses local ingredients including fish, moose, reindeer and the famous cloud berry. You will find a comfortable and cosy hotel room or cabin with a homely feel in front of the open fire in the lounge.

The third reason is the Northern Lights! This is the area of Swedish Lapland where Simply Sweden saw the best multi-coloured Northern Lights show of 2013!

Aurora Safari Camp - Lapland

Join professional Northern Lights Photographer Fredrik Broman or one of his colleagues at the Aurora Safari Camp deep in the magical snow covered forests of Swedish Lapland, in the middle of the Aurora zone, for fun in the snow! This is the region where Simply Sweden witnessed one of the best Northern Lights displays of 2013 – and we saw lots of Northern Lights in 2012_13! Fredrik has travelled the world with his profession and he has drawn inspiration for his Aurora Safari Camp from Africa and the indigenous Sami.

Your stay at the Aurora Safari Camp is about understanding and enjoying the snow. During your stay you will be provided with warm outer clothing (hat, snowmobile suit, mittens and boots) and head out to the camp by snowmobile and trailer. The camp can accommodate up to 10 people in warm laavus with comfortable beds and arctic sleeping bags. The tents are heated so no matter what the temperature is outside it will be a comfortable +5C inside and even warmer in your thick sleeping bag! Meals are served in the larger communal laavu and the bathroom facilities (with eco-toilet) are just 30m from the tents.

Fredrik is a professional night time photographer, specialising in the stars and the Northern Lights. If you have an SLR camera and a tripod, bring them along for some expert photography tips during the evening. There is no light pollution and there is an unobstructed view of the northern skies.
