Highlights

Travel the length of Northern Sweden on two of Europe’s most scenic rail journeys: the Ofoten Railway along Ofot Fjord and the nostalgic Inland Railway through Swedish Lapland – including a stop at the Arctic Circle.

Experience the surreal Midnight Sun (May to July), with up to 24 hours of daylight. Technically, you could go hiking in the middle of the night – just don’t forget a sleeping mask for when it’s finally time to crash!

Hike a section of the famous Kungsleden Trail, one of Europe's longest wilderness routes. Wander through birch forests along the Abiskojokk River and across open moorlands blooming with alpine flowers.

Uncover the ancient culture of the Sami people at an open-air museum with two Sami hosts. See traditional homes, learn about reindeer herding and share a classic Sami-style lunch.

Explore the historic streets of Ostersund – a lake city in central Sweden. Maybe step back to the Viking age at Jamtland Museum, brave the cool waters of Lake Storsjön or dig into regional delicacies like smoked moose.

Itinerary

Discover wild Arctic landscapes on this nine-day journey through Northern Norway and Sweden. Kick things off in the island city of Tromso, then board the legendary Ofoten Railway to Abisko National Park (warning: it’s a panoramic workout for your neck muscles) to hike a section of Sweden’s most famous trail. Tuck into a traditional lunch on a Sami cultural tour in Vilhelmina, then ride the retro Inlandsbanan train through Swedish Lapland – including a photo stop at the Arctic Circle. Explore the lakeside city of Ostersund, then end your Swedish adventure in the culture-rich capital of Stockholm – maybe with a sticky cinnamon bun.

day 1Tromso

Hei! Welcome to Norway. Your adventure begins in Tromso – a city just off the coast of Northern Norway, around 350 km (217 miles) north of the Arctic Circle. If you arrive early, perhaps dive into the region's history at Tromso Museum, check out the many art galleries or take a boat ride in the surrounding waters (Tromso is actually built on an island). You’ll have a welcome meeting at 6 pm at your hotel to meet your local leader and group. After, maybe head out for dinner to get to know each other and try some Norwegian cuisine – how about Farikal (lamb stew with cabbage) or a reindeer burger?
