Our "Life in Swedish Lapland" tour is your exclusive, 3-hour passport to an immersive and educational adventure you'll never forget.
Forget being a tourist; become a part of the Arctic story. Our expert guides, who live and breathe this incredible environment, will lead you deep into the snow-covered forests surrounding Brändön Lodge. You won't just see the landscape—you'll learn to live in it.
Master the art of building a fire "Arctic style," a skill that's as vital as it is mesmerizing. Gather around the flames you've created and learn to brew your own steaming tea and coffee, a simple pleasure that feels profound in this pristine setting. As you warm up, your guide will reveal the secrets of the local flora and fauna, connecting you to the very soul of this unique ecosystem.
The grand finale? A feast for the senses. We'll take a break in a cozy, traditional shelter where we'll prepare a delicious, authentic wilderness lunch together. Sink into plush reindeer pelts and relax by the fire, savoring your meal and sharing stories. This is more than just a meal; it's a moment of connection, a chance to truly appreciate the tranquility and beauty of this special place.
This is your perfect introduction to the magic of Swedish Lapland. No previous experience or special equipment is needed—just bring your sense of adventure. We provide everything you need to feel comfortable and confident as you begin your Arctic journey. This is not just a tour; it's the start of your story in the north.

We just arrived home from another fabulous stay with Brandon Lodge. They took care of arranging all of the activities so makes the stay very easy. They provide a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere and made to feel at home. Cabins cater for all you need and are very warm! The food is outstanding and you couldn’t fault any of the staff - everyone from our airport transfer to the management and guides all are friendly and knowledgable and nothing is too much trouble.
All outer-wear cold weather clothing is provided too!

Friendly staff, good food, clean cabin, and activities to pick from. We stayed at one of the self-serve cabins. There were two rooms, 4 beds total, a restroom with shower (soaps provided) and hairdryer, a small living area where we could play cards, a kitchenette with dorm size fridge, microwave, a cupboard of glasses and dishes, and a sink. At the lodge we had breakfasts and dinners, all of which were freshly and expertly made by the nicest staff. We took advantage of a couple of activities and were treated like old friends every step of the way.

We have recently returned from an incredible five days staying at Brandon Lodge with our 9 year old twins. I cannot praise this place more! The setting is stunning. The staff go above and beyond to ensure that you are having your best possible experience and the food is amazing! We did dog sledding, snow mobiling, ice fishing and the Sami/Reindeer experience and loved all of them. In between activities the children spent all their time toboggoning next to the lodge. They had their best holiday ever. We all did. We were even lucky enough to see the northern lights. Thank you to all the team. We hope to come back!
