Swedish ecological accreditation “Natures Best

Arctic Retreat is nestled at the bottom of the forest, at the foot of the rapid Raven in the Råne River valley. It is a hidden jewel in Swedish Lapland that offers a personal and exclusive stay in luxury log cabins. With a feeling of return to nature, warm hospitality and delicious local cuisine, this riverside accommodation allows you to reconnect with the peace of the natural world around you.

Programme détaillé

Arctic Retreat was the inspiration of a local family. They are your hosts and, with their friends, they will ensure you a warm and authentic experience. They focus on a high level of personal service throughout your stay. Whatever the adventures of the day, a hot bath in your private hot tub and/or Swedish sauna and a healthy 3-course dinner await you in the evening. All meals are provided and according to a fixed menu, with options to meet food needs, for each day according to seasonal availability.

The experience is authentic in all aspects – from the materials used, from the food used, to the local people working on the site. A stay at the Arctic Retreat is suitable for families and couples as well as private groups. Chalets can be booked individually or for exclusive private stays.

Arctic Retreat is your ideal winter getaway. In winter, our snowy climate allows you to enjoy fantastic winter activities and, as we are located in a secluded place, it is a fantastic place to observe the northern lights. There is a wide range of optional winter adventures with a professional local guide.

 

Depending on your mood, these can be as peaceful as a massage session or as exhilarating as a dog sleigh ride in the nearby forest. You are welcome to enjoy the Arctic winter lifestyle with us.
