Join Saveur the Journey for a hut-to-hut cross country ski expedition through the vast scenery of Sweden’s Laponia World Heritage Site. Swedish Lapland during the late spring is my favorite place for a hut-to-hut ski trek. Winding through the remote valleys and gentle slopes of [Laponia World Heritage Site ](https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/774/) in early April one is treated to long days and often fine weather while the snow still lays in a thick blanket. There is enough darkness that you have an excellent chance of seeing Aurora Borealis, “*pale gossamer curtains of light”* as author Barry Lopez calls them in *Arctic Dreams,* but the extreme cold of winter has subsided. Comfortable wilderness cabins with a woodstove, pure and clean water drawn straight from a hole in the ice, and the delicious foods of Lapland; moose, reindeer, lingonberries, smoked fish, excellent cheeses and sausage, and strong coffee make for an amazing experience.

Discover the vast scenery of Laponia World Heritage Site with the great lakes and the high peaks in the horizon. We will use the hut system and travel by ski between the huts, carrying only light packs. Our food and overnight gear will be transported by snowmobile to the huts. In the vast wilderness of Laponia we can escape cell phone service, the hustle and bustle of our normal lives, and relax into the rhythms of nature. In the simplicity of our days, with snow stretching away from us in every direction, we can slow down, find time for reflection, and let ourselves be seduced by the unique beauty of the Arctic.
