Discovering Arctic Finland and Sweden

Lapland is a winter wonderland spanning across Norway, Sweden, and Finland. For Indian travellers, Lapland offers the chance to experience glass igloo stays, husky sledding, and driving through snow-covered pine forests. An Arctic winter trip requires thermal gear prep and a Schengen visa from Finland or Sweden.

Husky Sledding and Ice Hotels

No trip is complete without visiting Kiruna’s famous Icehotel, driving through cross-border tundra passes to Tromsø, and staying in a heated glass igloo in Levi. Plan your routes carefully as border crossings are open but roads can be heavily snowed in.

Founder's Road Note

Staying in a glass igloo under the Northern Lights is a bucket list experience. Make sure to book months in advance as rooms sell out fast.
