Winter gear and clothing
Temperature and weather conditions can change very quickly in northern Sweden. Due to the location above the arctic circle the climate is sub-arctic with long cold winters. To enjoy your trip it is important to be properly equipped. When getting dressed, use several layers of clothes. It will both insulate and ventilate!
Layer 1 – base layer

- Avoid cotton since it absorbs the moisture and chills when it gets damp.
