This is a unique opportunity to experience 3 days living outdoors in the wilderness of Swedish Lapland, close to the original factory where our Nordic Tipis are made.
You won’t be on the tourist trail, but instead experiencing the real wilderness with Sonny Holmberg, a local expert guide and trapper.
You’ll be snowmobiling, ice fishing, dog sledging, sleeping in Tentipi tents, cooking over open fire and more.
If you’ve not been into this environment before, it is a truly remarkable experience and one that’s likely to stay with you your whole life.
The deal is that you get yourself to and from Arvidsjaur airport, and we’ll take care of all the other costs (accommodation, food, transfers, snowmobile and clothing hire, fuel, fishing event, a couple of beers with dinner, etc).
The draw will take place on 15 December 2017
with the winners notified on that day.
DAY 1
Sunday
4 March 2018 and 11 March 2018
Arrive Arvidsjaur airport, Sweden, in the evening.
Transfer to Sonny's place for a late evening 'welcome dinner' before retiring to the cabin to sleep.
DAY 2
Monday
5 March 2018 and 12 March 2018
Travel by car to Tentipi factory in Moskosel, to see where the giant Nordic Tipi event industry was born.
Here you will get a brief presentation, a tour of production area, and learn to sew on the industrial machines and make yourself a shopping bag to take home. Coffee with the production staff during the morning, and lunch.
Travel by car back to Arvidsjaur, dress for outdoor adventure, collect snowmobiles and equipment and head off into the wilderness.
Make camp: erect tents, build communal fireplace, cook over the fire, eat, socialise, and sleep.
DAY 3
Tuesday
6 March 2018 and 13 March 2018
Between 25km and 50km snowmobile drive to remote lake for ice fishing - try to catch some lunch.
Another activity, hopefully dogsled. Make camp again. Enjoy the night sky - no light pollution so many stars. With luck... see the Northern Lights.
DAY 4
Wednesday
7 March 2018 and 14 March 2018
Break camp, return to Arvidsjaur. Hopefully there will be enough time to visit a couple of local shops before freshening up and back to the airport.
