The Experience
About the Trip
“Snow is a wise teacher,” says Sámi, and this journey just proves why. In Swedish Lapland, you learn by doing: breaking through frozen seas on an icebreaker, chasing the Northern Lights across snow-covered trails, and sharing cocoa after a husky sledge ride through the forest. Each day in this Arctic wilderness trip teaches you something simple and unforgettable, about silence, stillness, and the kind of joy that only a place like this can offer.
