Hotels in Norrbotten, Sweden
Norrbotten is Sweden's northernmost county, stretching above the Arctic Circle, famous for the Aurora Borealis and the midnight sun. Winters here are long and cold, with temperatures often dropping to -20°F (-29°C), but that's perfect for chasing the Northern Lights from Abisko National Park or staying at the Ice Hotel in Jukkasjärvi-yes, it's made entirely of ice and snow. Summers bring mild 70°F (21°C) days with 24-hour daylight, ideal for hiking the Kungsleden trail or paddling through the Lule River's rapids, or even skiing at Riksgränsen, which stays open until June.
