Northern lights over snow-covered mountains outside Kiruna, Swedish Lapland

Five days in the Swedish Lapland, everything arranged

Kiruna - where Arctic stories begin

One booking covers the 4-star hotel, every transfer, your winter clothing, four aurora chases, dog sledding, snowmobiling, Sámi culture, the ICEHOTEL and a local host all week.

The Feel Good Week

One booking. Everything handled, start to finish.

You land in Kiruna and we are already there. For five days you decide nothing harder than which glove goes on first. Four nights, five days, every activity guided, every transfer driven, a winter kit hanging ready in your size and a host who actually lives here. You bring the flights and the willingness to be cold and very, very happy.

How it works

Three steps to the Arctic

Choose your dates

Our season runs December to March and every departure is Wednesday to Sunday, four nights - a long weekend that is easy to take off work. Pick the week that suits you, when Kiruna's nights are darkest and the aurora season is at its strongest.

We arrange everything

4-star hotel with a luxurious hotel breakfast buffet every morning, all transfers, winter clothing and every activity are booked and sequenced by your local host before you land. Every transfer is driven by an experienced winter driver in a minibus or van on studded winter tyres - airport both ways, and to and from every single activity. You never arrange or pay for local transport such as bus or taxi.

You just fly

Land in Kiruna and step into a week that's already planned - no logistics, no second-guessing, just the Arctic. There is a particular relief in handing it all over at the airport door: the phone goes in your pocket, someone who lives here takes the wheel, and for five days the only thing asked of you is to look up.

The Experiences

Five days. Every experience. One booking.

Every activity below, and where you sleep between them, is included in The Feel Good Week - nothing to book, nothing to add.

Why Smooth Aurora

The Value

Simpler. And better value.

Kiruna has a genuine hotel shortage in winter, and every activity is a separate booking with a separate operator. Here is what the same week costs when you piece it together yourself.

Booked separately

4-star hotel with breakfast, 4 nights~SEK 9 500about EUR 830
Activities (dog sledding, snowmobile with ice fishing, four aurora chases, Sámi culture visit and the ICEHOTEL)~SEK 12 000about EUR 1 050
Airport transfers plus taxis or a rental car across the five days~SEK 6 900about EUR 600
Winter clothing set rental~SEK 1 500about EUR 130
A spa visit at your hotel~SEK 400about EUR 35

One booking. Nothing to organise.

The difference

You save around SEK 6 400, about EUR 560, per person - and all the planning.

Separate prices are illustrative estimates based on indicative market rates.

What the price does not show

The curation is the product

We have tested a lot of operators up here over the years and kept the ones that hold up. They are chosen against our own standards, not on price, and that selection is the part you are actually buying. Anyone can book a dog sled. Knowing which one to book, and who to call when the weather turns, is the difference.

The SEK 30 300 above is a conservative figure. Doing this yourself without a local network and without booking well ahead usually means the more expensive version of each activity, arrangements made at the last minute, and paying for the things nobody saw coming. In practice the real cost is higher than the comparison suggests.

Planned tightly, on purpose

Our schedules are planned tightly enough to leave room for spontaneity. That sounds like a contradiction and it is not: because the fixed points are already handled, there is space to change plans when the sky, or the group, calls for it.

We evaluate every group

We have done it since we started, on the assumption that everything can be improved. Five seasons in, we know how people actually behave on a week like this and what they respond to. Our youngest guest was four, our oldest was around seventy.

In our own post-trip evaluation, which we run with every guest, the average overall score is 9.5 out of 10. That is our internal survey, not a public review score.

From Our Guests

“My experience with Smooth Aurora Travels is difficult to put into words because it was such a unique and emotional experience. I got to witness the Northern Lights, experience the thrill of the extreme Arctic cold, go dog sledding, discover Swedish and Sámi culture, explore the city of Kiruna, and enjoy some amazing local food.”
