This is a special time of year from early October to the middle of November. Still Autumn but almost Winter.

Autumn is an amazing time to visit Arctic Retreat in Swedish Lapland.

Recognises best practice for responsible Swedish companies in nature and cultural tourism. Arctic Retreat has completed a year long process of internal reflection and active development to enable us to gain this recognition.

In Arctic Sweden they say that there is no such thing as bad weather, there is only bad clothing.

Arctic Retreat is a local community business.

Dancing and shimmering across the night sky. Colors green, someone gasps, suddenly we see bright yellow, and then red. 

Arctic Retreat is located about 1 hour north west of Luleå in Swedish Lapland.

Arctic Retreat has a goal to be environmentally friendly and climate-smart.

In the nearby village of Sörbyn is a small local company called Pewter of Sweden. Here, the Andersson family produce the raw materials for making some of the arctics most sought after handcraft and jewellery.
