Winter in Sweden - yoga, northern lights and husky adventures

Northern Lights dancing in the night sky, the creaking snow beneath your feet and a white landscape as far as the eye can see. In Sweden, you can experience the most beautiful winter has to offer. Set off on a sledging adventure. The huskies will pull you across snow-covered meadows, through forests and over frozen lakes. And discover balance and mindfulness with yoga.

You can feel Sweden at Melderstein Herrgård. The river, the forests, the mountains and the silence are picturesque - in all seasons. An old iron ore path leads to the 280-year-old manor house, following the traces of the past. You are the guest of the descendants of the former owner. The hotel has a sauna, restaurant, lounge and a total of 13 modern rooms with shower and WC, inspired by the old days. Five double rooms and two single rooms are located in the manor house, with a further four double rooms and two single rooms in the adjoining building.

The restaurant will spoil you with Swedish cuisine. Half board is included in your trip. Breakfast awaits you in the morning to give you a full energy start to the day. At lunchtime, you can prepare yourself a small snack in the form of a sandwich, fruit and drinks. Your hosts, Katarina and Göran, will be happy to tell you about the history of the house and the adventures you can experience here over dinner. A guest kitchen is also available.

This week we will discover the Swedish winter landscape in a special way on two excursions.

Enjoy the quiet crunching under your feet on a snowshoe hike as we explore the forest. We may discover animal tracks along the way. About halfway through, we stop for fika (a small snack) before continuing our journey back to the manor house. The snowshoe hike takes around two hours.

The second excursion of the week takes you through the forest areas of the north by dog sled. You travel in pairs, alternating with your dog team in your own sled. One sits in the sled while the other drives. Experience the power and enthusiasm of the dogs. The husky tour lasts around 2.5 hours and includes homemade fika, outerwear (boots, pants, jacket, hat and mittens) and of course time to make friends with the dogs.

This active winter week is rounded off and enriched with two yoga sessions a day. Mindful movement connects body and mind and allows your thoughts to relax. In your own rhythm, you will flow through beneficial exercises (asanas) that strengthen us and make us more flexible. Breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation deepen the yoga practice.

The program is subject to change and excursions will be arranged on site. Depending on the size of the group, the activities take place in two to three alternating groups. Further excursions can be booked on site.

The journey to Luleå takes place on the specified date.

Transfers from Luleå Airport at approx. 6:30 pm and to Luleå Airport on departure at approx. 9 am are included. The journey takes about 45 minutes.
