Experience the magic of Swedish Lapland, the fairy tale Boreal Forest, the relaxing Aurora Safari Camp and the amazing Treehotel.
The Aurora Safari camp gives you the perfect opportunity to experience the silence of Swedish Lapland. Away from artificial light which means you will experience the full effect of the northern lights in the star glittered sky. These cosy tents offer a luxury wilderness experience deep inside the Boreal Forest. With warm clothing, thick sleeping bags and a log burning stove you are sure to sleep well the temperature inside the tents was around 17C, even at -20C outside.

They are passionate about the fragile environment they grew up in and want to show you their home.

Treehotel has taken the lead by using innovative building techniques to secure the cabins in the trees. By using securing brackets and by closely monitoring the growth rate of the trees, Treehotel has successfully built a hotel in the tree tops without using nails. Luleå university has also been closely involved as international companies and organisations look to use and adapt this innovative process. Your meals are served at Britta's pensionat (part of Treehotel) and with a full range of winter activities you will find plenty to keep you occupied.
The Cabin: Designed by Cyrén & Cyrén
A double room with amazing views of the Luleå River across the tree canopy. Supported by 4 pine trees in each corner, the entrance to The Cabin is by footbridge to a large terrace on top of The Cabin.
Mirrorcube: Designed by Tham & Videgård
An optical illusion created by a mirrored cube plays tricks on the mind is it appears suspended in mid-air. A double room with a small roof terrace accessible by ladder.
Bird's Nest: Designed by Bertil Harström
A large room with 1 double bed and 2 single beds. Designed to blend in with other nests in the Boreal Forest, the only difference being the size! Access by retractable ladder.
Blue Cone: Designed by Sandell Sandberg
Simple wood construction with birch facade. A double bed and 2 single beds in the loft. Living in a tree should not be complicated. Wheelchair accessible.
UFO: Designed by Bertil Harström
A little boys dream come true ... climb aboard and fly away amongst the tree tops. Inspiration came whilst designing the Bird's Nest - to build something to the contrary. A double bed and 3 single beds.
