After harsh winters and more metres of snow in a year than the UK sees in a decade, the ice melts and in its place acres of forests and enormous lakes appear. It is a playground of outdoor activity and the unique lodges still provide a brag worthy space to rest your head after all the fresh air. Also, the midnight sun lends itself to late nights sharing memories by the water. Extended daylight means more time for outdoor activities like hiking and fishing.Summertime in Swedish Lapland runs from June to August and is the best time of year for hiking and exploring the mountain trails.
Swedish Lapland in winter does not immediately scream ‘idyllic holiday destination’. Yet, the Northern Lights, free range reindeer, husky sledding, snowmobiling and a few warm layers suddenly make the harsh environment somewhat magical.
You only need a weekend in Stockholm to see the Swedes infamously relaxed approach to life. Built across 14 islands and a short hop from an enormous archipelago, you are only ever a stones throw away from the water.
The wild west of Sweden, the West Coast is where the Swedes have their holiday homes. The area is made for road tripping after a night in the student city of Gothenburg.
