The taste of Swedish Lapland

When you visit Swedish Lapland you’ll soon discover that our food culture and our lifestyle are closely interwoven. A strong tradition bears witness to how we have lived, for thousands of years, off of what nature has so generously provided.

The sea, lakes and rivers, the mountains, woodlands and wetlands have been the sources, and it is here, near these sources, that people have chosen to live and to find sustenance. Join us on a guided tour of natural resources that take the fastest route to the table.

you are wearing a sturdy pair of hiking boots, and a wind breaker over a comfortable fleece. Warm rays of sunlight filter down through the treetops. Flowing swiftly, the river provides the background music as it dances and splashes over the rocks. Several anglers stand knee-deep, sweeping the air in long, even casts and landing a fly gently on the surface of the water.

Looking down, you sea blueberry bushes everywhere. Scanning the ground methodically, you take a few steps towards a wet patch. Suddenly, a bright orange object in the undergrowth catches your eye. Squatting, you pick the warm, ripe cloud berry and pop it into your mouth. The characteristic flavour rouses your senses and there, spread out before you, is a sea of gold – there are berries everywhere.

It's time to fill the freezer! When you visit Swedish Lapland, we recommend that you take the time to pause, look around and discover new flavours. They are everywhere around you. Come and blaze your own trails through  the forests, over the high country and  across the islands of the archipelago.

Stop to rest a while by the fire, speak of life and talk of everything we've seen and done today. Together, we'll prepare a meal with ingredients fresh from nature's pantry.

Reindeer meat raised by local Sámi herders and lingonberries picked just around the bend. Being outdoors and experiencing and enjoying all of the good things nature has to offer is a natural way of life for us that we are very happy to share with visitors.

All good things that live here have adapted to life in our subarctic environment, where the warm Gulf Stream's North Atlantic Drift creates conditions that are unique at our northern latitude.

The heavy snow cover of an arctic winter protects dormant wild herbs and berries, allowing them to store energy for the coming spring. Then, they will burst forth in an explosion of life under intense rays of spring sunlight that warm the landscape.

A growing season of 100 intensive bright summer days and nights packs our produce with flavour and nutrition. The Midnight Sun fills us with energy and lust for life. Game and livestock graze and grow fat and healthy. Fish swim and spawn in water so pure you can drink it.

Pure, natural flavours so fresh they practically jump in your mouth.

Nature is generous and we are grateful. And we show our thanks by making it our playground and our breathing space. When you visit us you are never far away from the wide horizon on the sea, the deep silence of the forest or the broad vistas of the high country. And when you find your favourite view, the best way to enjoy it is with great food, cooked over an open fire, under an open sky.
