Norrland
The Wild North
Experience the vast wilderness of northern Sweden, home to the northern lights, midnight sun, Sami culture, and Europe's last great wilderness areas.
About Norrland
Norrland covers more than half of Sweden's total area but is home to only about 12% of its population. This vast region stretches from the mountains along the Norwegian border to the Gulf of Bothnia coast.
From the aurora-lit skies of Lapland to the ski slopes of Åre, Norrland offers unparalleled natural experiences. The indigenous Sami people have called this region home for thousands of years, maintaining their reindeer herding traditions.
