My second trip to Sweden! Above the Arctic CircleI arrived in Sweden on Saturday morning and proceeded to fly directly to Kiruna. Kiruna is a small town approximately 200 Km above the arctic circle. I spent one night in Kiruna and then one night in the Ice Hotel. It was really an amazing trip. I slept in an igloo, ate a reindeer, rode a snowmobile on a frozen river, saw the northern lights, and met lots of great people. Snowboarding at ÅreAfter two days in the far northern reaches of Sweden, I traveled a little further south to a town called Östersund. From Östersund I was only a bus ride away from one of the best ski resorts in Sweden, Åre. I was in the town of Åre for three days and actually snowboarded for 2 days. While the conditions were better than most resorts on the east coast of the US, I think that I’ve been spoiled by riding in Colorado. Stockholm and UppsalaThe final three days of my trip took place in Stockholm and a town called Uppsala just north of Stockholm. I hung out with friends and traveled to two castles and a cathedral. It was a lot of fun and a great way to end my vacation. |
