Nordic Winter Skills Workshop with Lunch in Brändön, near Luleå

Discover how people have not only survived, but thrived in the extreme weather of the Arctic on this amazing Nordic winter skills workshop with lunch in Brändön, near Luleå! The Arctic region of the Earth has been inhabited for over 40000 years, which means that there is a thread connecting those ancient human beings and those who make the place their home now. That thread is life, and how it manages to survive even in the most inhospitable of climates. The expert instructors at Brändön Lodge want to give you a taste of a few of the ingenious skills needed to survive in the Arctic, with a delicious meal included.

On the day of your Nordic winter skills workshop with lunch in Brändön, near Luleå, you'll need to arrive at the Brändön Lodge at least 30 minutes before the start of the experience (you'll find free parking on-site, or you can contact your instructor for pick-up options in Luleå). There, you'll meet your instructor, who will welcome you to the lodge and explain the itinerary for the day, as well as a few safety rules to follow to have a good time. Finally, they will distribute the snowshoes, thermal suits, boots, socks, gloves, and hats, so you can put everything on and prepare for the freezing temperatures of the Arctic.

Once you're prepared, the adventure will start! You will strap on your snowshoes and start walking into the Arctic forest, always guided and accompanied by your expert instructor. You'll find a spot where you can settle down and gather around your instructor as they show you how exactly you build a fire over the snow! They will also tell you interesting stories and facts about Arctic life and the local fauna and flora, so you can learn all you can about the region and how people have lived there for thousands of years. Later on, you will arrive at a traditional Sámi teepee, where you and your instructor will prepare a delicious outdoor lunch and then eat it with hot drinks you'll warm up over the fire as well.

You have to remember that you will spend around 3 hours in the open Arctic landscapes of Swedish Lapland, so you should come prepared with very warm layers to wear under the suits the instructor will lend you, including wool or thermal underwear, extra layers on top, and even a wind and waterproof jacket that you can wear under the suit if it's really cold outside. You should also bring a hat, scarf, gloves, snacks, and anything else you might need (medicine, glasses, etc.) to spend an amazing moment on this Nordic winter skills workshop near Luleå!
