📍 Destination Overview
Jukkasjarvi, some 200 km inside the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland, is a historic Sami village. Its world-first Icehotel, rebuilt each winter from Torne River ice, offers ice rooms, a bar and a chapel, the benchmark of ice tourism. Winter brings superb aurora viewing, the Sami centre shows reindeer-herding tradition, and a 17th-century Sami church, with midnight sun in summer.
