Big Suite on Lehtisaari Island

Lehtisaari is a small Arctic Island paradise on the Torne River. With just three cabins and suites, it is the perfect place to relax in silence while sitting by the fireplace. Each self-catering unit has a kitchenette with a fridge, two-burner stove with small oven, kettle, microwave and a dry toilet. There is no running water on the island, so you can collect fresh water from the river pump and clean yourself in the traditional Sami way, in your private sauna. Minimum 2 night stay. The island is only accessed by snowmobile during winter and by boat during summer, adding to your unique Norrland holiday. Your guide will collect you from the Kiruna Guidetur office and drive you out through the forest, then you can sit back and relax during a short boat/snowmobile-sled tour through the sparkling arctic landscape to your cabin on the island. The guide will show you all you need to know about staying at the camp and will pick you up in the same way upon departure. When booking, please advise us of your arrival time so we can book your return boat/snowmobile-sled transfer. (Price is +195SEK per person each direction). The cottage has electricity, dry toilet and a kitchenette consisting of a microwave, 2-burner stove, small oven, small fridge, kettle and coffee-maker.
