Activities are provided by Fjällspirit; with more than 30 years of outdoor experience, they guarantee an exciting winter vacation.

Below is a brief review of the week and explanation of each activity.

Ice Fishing

The many lakes in the Ansättfjällen area lend themselves perfectly to ice fishing. Everyone is given explanations and the materials needed and can get started on their own. Nearby, a crackling campfire is kept going for a hot drink and, of course, the (hoped-for) catch is immediately grilled.

2 Day scooter tour with visit to the Sami

On this trip, we will spend the night in a primitive mountain hotel (Jänsmässholmen Fjällhotel).

Everyone will receive appropriate scooter clothing and before we leave, a brief introduction + test ride.

Then we set off into the wild and untouched countryside, hoping, of course, for an encounter with reindeer and/or an elk. Arriving in Jänsmässholmen, a Sami guide will pick up the group to be immersed in their culture; meet the reindeer, taste reindeer meat in tipi tent by the fire, explain the Sami way of life. Upon returning to the hotel, there is a delicious 3-course meal to enjoy. The evening can be filled as you choose, by visiting the sauna, enjoying a hopefully open starry sky and with a little luck even witnessing the magical northern lights. After a well-deserved night’s sleep and a good breakfast, the snowmobiling trip will continue. Once again through the beautiful countryside, to finally return to the accommodation with all great memories.

Day on the ski slope

A day of fun at Sportcamping Åkersjon; a cozy small ski slope with two runs and a route through the forest. You can choose between skiing, snowboarding or cross-country skiing. Includes ski/ langlauf pass and rental of necessary equipment. At noon, a hot lunch will be provided at the on-site restaurant and after this fun-filled day, there will be drinks of your choice.

Dog sled ride

A husky tour is a wonderful way to actively get acquainted with the pure winter beauty of our region and the enthusiasm of the huskies. After getting acquainted with the dogs and a thorough explanation, all the equipment will be distributed and you will get to see and hear the explosive power of the huskies as they leave. After 100 meters, the dogs are immediately focused on their job and silently take us on a breathtaking ride

Snowshoe tour

On typical snowshoes, guests make their way through the deep untouched snow under expert guidance. During the tour, one imagines oneself in the magical fairytale forest of winter wonderland, animal tracks are read and information about the fauna and flora of this region is provided.

The tour ends at a Tipi tent, where guests can warm up by a fire and a snack and drink will be prepared.
