Sweden Tours in Winter

Top 5 in my Bucket List is visiting the Scandinavian Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland). I have always been intrigued by these countries due to my fascination with the Vikings history! And surely this tour did not disappoint at all! Enjoyed every moment and surely one of the best tours I have had!

What a fantastic week , full of excitement and plenty of adventure . The Northern lights came out within a couple of hours of us arriving and our trip was off to an amazing start. We had great fun out snow shoeing , this place is hard to describe you are on an island , surrounded by trees and snow . It’s is so peaceful there was nobody else here but the group and the air is so clean and dry. The reindeer ride to the Sami house went on for over an hour each way , and we gained lots of insight into the lives of the Sami people . The dog sledding was truly amazing and we were out for a few hours without meeting anyone, cutting across lakes of fresh snow. Finally the forest ski trip and an overnight stay to sleep in the forest hut was a true delight -30 with a couple of log burners to keep us warm and cutting the ice to access water from the lake , miles away from anywhere. Lars had non stop information on the wildlife and the local area , each night we had an interesting talk on a different predator - bear, wolverine etc

What a fantastic trip, we arrived and saw the aurora on the first night. The rest of the trip never failed to disappoint. It was an amazing group, a fabulous mix of activity, combined with a great landscape and the stunning northern lights. The mix of activities kept us busy, exhilarated us, created some laughs and kept the fun going. We had done none before but enjoyed every moment, some challenged us but we quickly learnt a fall in the snow was like being in cotton wool! This was our first ‘snow’ or ‘cold’ trip and we’d encourage anyone to take the plunge!

This really was the adventure to beat all adventures, so many amazing sights and experiences. The accommodation was very comfortable, the food fantastic and the activities were stunning. The river and forest scenery as well as the sunrises and sunsets were incredible.

If you're considering this trip, just book it, you will NOT be disappointed!! The trip was fantastic from start to end, I did not want to come home. The activities laid on by Exodus were fantastic, everyone was so nice and there was always a relaxed / welcoming atmosphere. I personally loved the husky and reindeer days. They exceeded my expectations and had the added bonus of learning a little about these beautiful animals. During our week the weather was in our favour and our group were very lucky to experience the Aurora on four nights. It was an amazing experience and something I will never forget. Our guide Lars was fantastic, very welcoming and knowledgeable. The scenery was stunning, hard to describe, go and experience it for yourself :-)

This was my favorite trip among the dozens of trips I have taken with various tour companies. Our host Lars was amazing - he deeply cares about the environment and is extremely knowledgeable about nature and history and full of patience for those of us that aren't as skilled as others on forest skis or snowshoes. Coming from a warm climate, I was a tad concerned about getting cold but the winter clothes they provided kept me nice and warm even when it got down to -30C (admittedly I did wear 2 levels of thermals underneath). The accommodations were delightful - cozy cabins, great food, toasty sauna. The beauty of this area is hard to describe - one of my fellow group members said it reminded her of Narnia, which seems about right. The air was so clean. The vibe was always so calm. I came home feeling so rested while also knowing I got my share of exercise. For me, the exercise level was perfect. I am not at my fittest but the level of intensity on this trip was perfect for me. I definitely earned my dessert calories.
