Fjällnäs

There are eight seasons here at Fjällnäs in the Swedish Mountains that together describe one year in this majestic mountain setting. At Fjällnäs you’ll find peace and solitude, or adventures in all of them. And in an ever-changing world it’s good to know that Fjällnäs has changed little since the ice sheet departed 9,000 years ago. The few dots on the landscape here are the venerable Fjällnäs mountain reserve hotel and Mii Gullo spa. Etched across the 60 mountain peaks are 300 kilometres of pristine Nordic ski trails. Depending on season you can also enjoy downhill skiing, snowscooter safaris, ice-climbing and dog-sledding, as well as above-tree-line mountain biking and hiking when the snow and ice retreat.

The Fjällnäs mountain reserve hotel offers a comfortable stay and wholesome local cuisine and Mii Gullo spa, with its treatments for body and soul, is the perfect way to bring a day at Fjällnäs to a close.

The New York Times recently rated Fjällnäs as the 6th coolest place to go on the planet in 2009. They are not wrong.

For your information the eight seasons are; frosty winter, crusty snow, departure of ice, eternal sun, harvest season, colourful autumn, black snow and yuletide.


Northern Sweden

Northern Sweden is a vast landscape of towering alpine peaks and endless vistas of pine forest, Polar plains, meadows and glaciers. Its eastern edge is fringed by a rolling coastline, peppered by islands and skerries. No description of Northern Sweden is complete without mentioning Swedish Lapland - Europe’s last remaining wilderness.

Lovers of the outdoors life will love northern Sweden’s legendary national parks; Abisko and Sarek being two outstanding examples. Northern Sweden is also the ancestral home of the Sami, the indigenous people of the region, whose unique traditions and culture thankfully thrive today. Bear, elk, the wolverine, the golden eagle and the rare Arctic Fox have their home here in Northern Sweden. As if these natural riches were not enough, this the land of the Midnight Sun and the staggeringly beautiful Northern Lights,

We could go on – and on.
