Bergisch Gladbach, March 28, 2024. The vast Nordic landscapes of Swedish Lapland entice with untouched nature and a multitude of winter sports opportunities. From March 15 to 18, 2024, four renowned travel organizers embarked on a familiarization trip to this enchanting region, organized by Visit Sweden and Polar Air Shuttle, a company of the PAS Aviation Holding.
From November to March 2024, PAS offered exclusive charter flights with Polar Air Shuttle from Munich and Hanover to Arvidsjaur. The flights were operated in collaboration with Eurowings and TUIfly. The routes were also part of a cooperation with the international automotive industry, which utilizes the region for its test drives.
Encounters with the Sami Culture
Encounters with the Sami people and their reindeer delighted the travel organizers. The traditional way of life of the indigenous people and their sustainable connection to nature provided profound insights. Lapland’s culinary culture also traces back to the Sami indigenous population. Local products such as reindeer and moose meat, as well as various types of fish, take center stage. A taste experience for travelers, as moose and reindeer are not consumed every day.
New Insights and Unexpected Discoveries
For many participants, Swedish Lapland was uncharted territory, and the utilization of the region by the automotive industry came as a surprise. The numerous test drivers have contributed to making Arvidsjaur an international airport. Not only in Arvidsjaur but also in Arjeplog in western Swedish Lapland, car enthusiasts and automotive industry professionals from around the world gather to test vehicles, drive on ice, and share a unique experience.
Experiences in the Snowscape
The journey to Swedish Lapland offered participants unique highlights, including spectacular views of the snow-covered landscape with over 9,000 lakes. A snowmobile ride through snowy forests and over frozen lakes provided adventurous moments.
The Best Time to Visit Swedish Lapland
Late winter is the ideal time to explore Lapland, with milder temperatures and longer days. But a visit at New Year’s promises magical moments, especially when you can witness the fascinating Northern Lights, transforming the dark sky into a colorful spectacle.
Outlook and Air Traffic
The future promises further trips to Swedish Lapland. PAS is already working on a new edition. In winter 2024/25, flights from Hanover and Munich to Arvidsjaur will be offered again.
