Brändön Lodge is located on an island off the coast of Lapland. The lodge overlooks the frozen sea and islands of the Luleå archipelago. The Luleå archipelago has a total of 1300 islands and only 100 inhabitants and is a unique wilderness environment where the sea around the islands freezes up to one meter thick in winter, allowing for a wide range of winter activities such as snowmobiling and dog sledding.
In the summer, Brändön Lodge offers a fantastic location as a base for exploring the Luleå region and the archipelago's stunning nature. In the autumn, Brändön Lodge offers a wide range of activities, including Northern Lights tours, boat trips and even seal watching. All year round, our fantastic log cabin restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Have you ever dreamed of being so wind swept and interesting that people travel thousands of miles to spend time with you?
A photography story Andreas has experienced many wonderful things across the region, both at work and play and they are now great stories of the north of Sweden that he can use to regale guests.
