Reindeer Lodge – Winter

Our idyllic accommodation outside Jukkasjärvi

Reindeer Lodge is totally the way to go for a very pure (and fun!) arctic experience
Zackary, 2017

Start the day by saying good morning to a reindeer, and then snuggle up with a warm cup of cocoa after a long day in the snow. Fall asleep to the sound of crackling fire, wake up and see how the northern lights dance in the sky. Stay at Reindeer Lodge with grazing reindeer walking next door. Choose between an exciting goahti tent, a traditional lávvu tent or an idyllic cabin, or maybe one night in each? Regardless, this small-scale facility offers an ideal base for your Swedish Lapland getaway.

Nestled in the forest and on the banks of the Torne River is Reindeer Lodge, a cosy and sustainable accommodation located 3 km outside Jukkasjärvi. We are certified by Nature's Best and offer accommodation in cabins and tents, all in the Sámi spirit. We keep our reindeer on site over the winter, some males to sled with and some females and calves to support feed over the winter. Reindeer Lodge is the perfect place for those looking for accommodation a little outside the city, but still easily accessible for nature-related experiences.
