LOCATION & HOW TO GET HERE
The adventure begins at Hotel Savoy in Luleå town in Swedish Lapland. Check-in time is 3 pm, but you can arrive earlier and relax in the reception lounge or visit the spa.
Address: Storgatan 59, Luleå >> Link to Google Maps
Meeting time: On Day 2 meet up with your guide at Hotel Savoy in Luleå at 10:30 am.
By train: We highly recommend the Arctic Circle train from Stockholm or Arlanda airport to Luleå, which runs on renewable energy. The journey takes around 13 hours and offers a memorable start to your adventure. You can also choose to travel by train in one direction and fly in the other direction. The train has a restaurant serving basic meals, snacks, and drinks. Purchase your train tickets online at www.sj.se. A bunk bed in a shared 6-bed compartment costs approximately 3000 SEK for a return ticket, with 3-bed and private compartments also available. Upon arrival in Luleå, it's just a short 500-meter walk to Hotel Savoy, where the tour begins.
Climate reward: If you travel by train from Stockholm to Luleå with return, you'll receive our climate reward that includes a free meal at Hotel Savoy and free access to the spa. The meal could be breakfast, lunch, or a one-course dinner, not including drinks. To claim the reward, simply email us with your preferred meal. Note that the spa has limited visitors and may be fully booked at times.
By air: To get to Luleå, fly from Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) with SAS or Norwegian. Also see if there are any direct connections from London, Paris and Düsseldorf to Luleå. Luleå Airport is small, and you can easily reach Luleå by shuttle bus or taxi (20 minutes). As there are no scheduled activities on the first and last day of the tour, you can choose to take a flight or train at any time that suits you.
