A newly renovated, rustic lakeside hideaway
The experience centres on a small, newly renovated cabin on a private island in Ruskträsket where guests find bed sheets, towels and basic comforts provided while they cook their own evening meal and breakfast.
A short, focused escape — evening fire to morning swim
The program compresses an overnight wilderness feeling into 21 hours: arrive mid‑afternoon, light a fire and settle for the evening, sleep on the island and take a morning swim or explore before pickup the following day.
Everything supplied, extras available
Transport, a rowing boat with lifejackets, basic cleaning and linens are included; Wild Lapland can add canoes, kayaks, stand‑up paddleboards and fishing equipment for an extra cost.
