If you have ever thought about taking a North Pole holiday then you may like to consider the outstanding natural beauty of Sweden. The striking mountains and shear valleys are a result of the huge glaciers which have sculpted the landscape over millennia, making it a fantastic place for an exhilarating holiday. The awesome snow clad mountains are perfect for skiing or snowboarding, while the vast pine forests and frozen lakes are a dream for husky sledging and snowmobiling. And, as if that wasn’t enough, Sweden is also able to offer two truly amazing Arctic experiences: Northern Lights The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis, are the result of solar winds from the Sun being caught in the Earth’s magnetic fields. On a clear evening, curtains of different coloured rays dance across the night sky, glowing and fading in complete silence to provide one of nature’s truly amazing spectacles. Arctic Sweden frequently plays host to Aurora Borealis, and the northern village of Abisko is officially one of the best places in the world to enjoy it, as its topography pretty much guarantees cloudless skies all year round. Now, if only there was a cool place to stay? Ice Hotel About 100km from Abisko is the incomparable Ice Hotel. The Ice Hotel is constructed every year from the waters of the local Torne River and is the joyous result of Arctic engineering and fine art. Everything from the reception desk to the bar is carved from ice, and that includes the bedrooms, beds, tables and in-house wedding chapel. The hotel is a completely different design every year, but always just as amazing. The feeling you get when you open the main reindeer-skin doors is literally breathtaking. A hotel like no other, the Ice Hotel really is a unique North Pole holiday experience.
