| SKIING AT THE ICEHOTEL |
|
| Combine your Skiing holidays in Lapland with a stay at the ICEHOTEL® |
| Duration: 4 or 7 nights |
| As international ski resorts go, Riksgransen and Bjorkliden in Swedish Lapland are relatively well kept secrets. Nestled amidst spectacular scenery the resorts are fairly petite and unassuming but what they can boast, apart from being the most northerly ski resorts in the world, is lots and lots of snow – Bjorkliden until mid May and in the case of Riksgransen, until late June! |
