The weeks at Nordic Woods always run from Saturday (arrival day) to Saturday (departure day). Check all available dates here.
Experience an active holiday in one of the most pristine places in Europe: the Nordic Woods camp near Åsnen National Park in Scandinavia. You can embark on daily expeditions in nature, go on canoe trips on the lake, and explore the surrounding forests. In the evenings, you can cook over a campfire, enjoy cozy nights at the Nordic Woods camp, and spend the night under the stars in a charming tipi tent. Keep reading to discover everything.
Nordic Woods is located on the edge of the wilderness, near Åsnen National Park in southern Sweden. From your tipi, you can enjoy views of the Swedish forests, where you can explore the nature of Sweden by taking a short hike across the road. On the other side, you can gaze out over a vast lake, where you can explore a whole network of lakes and rivers by canoe.
Nordic Woods is located right next to the Åsnen National Park, on the edge of the Swedish Hönshyltefjorden. From here, you can explore the wilderness on foot or from your canoe.
Explore the surrounding lakes and remote islands with our Canadian Long Canoes, which are ready for you at the lake.
Enjoy a warm wood-fired hot tub with a view of the lake and, in the evening, a sparkling starry sky.
You can participate in daily yoga sessions in the large tipi. Later in the evening, it's the perfect place to build a roaring campfire or play a game of Werewolves.
In the middle of the lake, you'll find our large barrel sauna, where you can warm up before jumping into the cool water!
In the living room of Nordic Woods, you can gather together for a drink and marshmallows by the campfire.
It takes some luck, but in a few weeks, you will get to see the Aurora Borealis from the Nordic Woods camp, also known as the Northern Lights. The mesmerizing display of colors visible from Nordic Woods is purple. This is due to the type of atmosphere that the sunlight particles interact with.
