Details
Escape to the wilderness of Swedish Lapland in this 4-night holiday to Jockfall. Experience the very best of arctic wildlife with the opportunity to meet huskies, reindeer and moose, and maximise your chances of seeing the Northern Lights far away from light pollution.
Set deep within the untouched wilderness of Swedish Lapland, Jockfall offers travellers an extraordinary blend of adventure and serenity. Experience the wild beauty of the Arctic in its purest form in Jockfall, where you will find a majestic waterfall, endless snow-covered forests, and a peacefulness that makes it feel like a hidden gem. Whether you're seeking to witness the awe-inspiring Northern Lights or explore pristine landscapes, Jockfall provides an unparalleled escape into the Arctic wilderness.
Jockfall's remote location, far from light pollution, offers some of the best opportunities for aurora viewing in Europe. Wildlife lovers will also appreciate the chance to encounter iconic animals of the north, such as moose and reindeer. These majestic creatures are not only symbols of Lapland but also integral to the local culture and meeting them in their natural habitat is a truly memorable experience.
What sets Jockfall apart from other winter destinations are its authentic and immersive experiences. While many places offer snowmobiling or dog sledding, here these activities are woven into the fabric of local life, creating a truly genuine connection to the landscape and culture of Lapland. The intimacy of Jockfall's smaller, locally-run excursions means you'll feel like more than just a visitor-you'll be part of the environment. Whether you're gliding across snowy trails on a dog sled, sipping a traditional Swedish fika (a coffee and pastry break) by a campfire, or snowshoeing through the tranquil woods, you'll get a true sense of the Arctic lifestyle. It's this personal touch, combined with the beauty of the surroundings, that makes Jockfall a standout choice for a winter adventure.
