At the house of\u00a0Svansele Vildmark<\/em><\/strong>, it is a real immersion in\u00a0Swedish Lapland<\/strong>\u00a0that awaits you. Here, we don't just come for an activity, but to experience a\u00a0complete experience<\/strong>, surrounded by nature and far from mass tourism.<\/p>

Located at\u00a02.5 hours from Ume\u00e5 and 50 minutes from Skellefte\u00e5<\/strong>, Svansele<\/em> propose\u00a0several unique adventures<\/strong>, suitable for those who want to discover\u00a0northern Sweden<\/strong>\u00a0in its wildest and most authentic aspect.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After almost two years in Sweden, we still hadn't tested the snowmobile<\/strong>\u2026and yet, it\u2019s an activity that everyone here practices and recommends!<\/p>

So we were more than impatient to leave for a\u00a0two-hour nature hike<\/strong>, both on the same snowmobile. We were accompanied by\u00a0Erik, our guide,<\/strong> and only one other participant, which made our experience even more intimate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Once\u00a0equipped from head to toe<\/strong>\u00a0(don't worry, everything is provided on site!), Erik explained to us\u00a0the basics of driving<\/strong>. Good news:\u00a0no previous experience required<\/strong>\u00a0on a motorbike or scooter, it's quite easy to get to grips with.<\/p>

We took our places on our snowmobile, Wilfried at the helm to start, me right behind, ready to enjoy the scenery. The route took us across\u00a0incredible scenery<\/strong>, between snowy forests and immaculate plateaus, with a few uphill and downhill sections that offered us sublime unobstructed views.<\/p>

Of course, we have\u00a0swapped places<\/strong>\u00a0along the way, so everyone can test drive and enjoy the scenery without distraction.<\/p>

The route was\u00a0suitable for beginners<\/strong>, with a few more technical passages, just what was needed to make the experience even more fun and immersive<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Halfway through the trip, Erik took us to his camp lost in the wilderness<\/strong>, accessible only by snowmobile in winter and by quad in summer. A place\u00a0completely cut off from the world<\/strong>, with traditional wooden cabins, campfires and an absolutely magical setting.<\/p>

On the way back we stopped at a huge frozen lake<\/strong>, where we were able to\u00a0test the power of snowmobiles<\/strong>. Great back and forth at full speed and a feeling of total freedom.<\/p>

A moment we won't soon forget!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After these two hours rich in sensations, time for the reward: a\u00a0lunch at a restaurant Vildsint<\/em><\/strong>, located directly on the site of Svansele<\/em>.<\/p>

Erik, this time in his role as chef, prepared a 100% meal for us\u00a0wood-fired cooking<\/strong>, in front of us. Here, no oven or hotplates:\u00a0everything is cooked over the flame<\/strong>, in a warm setting, with ingredients that are as local as possible.<\/p>

On the menu:\u00a0smoked salmon, game, roast potatoes<\/strong>, and many other Swedish specialties, but not only.\u00a0A real feast<\/strong>, with quality products and perfectly mastered seasonings.<\/p>

And if, like us, you don't eat meat, no worries: vegetarian alternatives are available and everything is\u00a0adaptable according to desires<\/strong>.<\/p>

The little extra? It\u2019s\u00a0an all-you-can-eat buffet<\/strong>, so we help ourselves without hesitation and we taste it all in a warm and friendly atmosphere<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
