If you’re looking to get away from it all, there’s no better place than Laponia in Swedish Lapland, where you can experience vast expanses of nature, the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun. Head north to experience Sweden’s Arctic region and a well-preserved way of life in this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Laponia is a sparsely populated wilderness area with old-growth forests, glaciers, mountains and enormous wetlands spread over a 9, 400 square kilometre area. Ninety-five per cent of Laponia is protected as national parks or nature reserves. Before venturing into them, it’s important to be informed, well-equipped and prepared for nature’s elements.
