“Arvidsjaur:
Arvisdjaur is a small town with about 4500 inhabitants. It is about 30 minutes away from Thomas Häuschen. There you will find supermarkets, petrol stations, restaurants, a local museum with a small shop and cafe (highly recommended, you can get very nice handmade things from the region), a seed settlement and just outside the airport with an exhibition on the development of winter testing. In winter, the test drivers and their Ehrlkönen shape the cityscape. Each winter season, around 30,000 come to the Arvidsjaur region to test the new cars and systems for their suitability for winter. Somewhat bizarre.
Unfortunately, the Intershop (sports shop) has closed, so that we couldn't find cross-country skis or a sledge on site. Hiking maps were also not available in Arvidsjaur. The tourist information consists of a small information in the town hall. Unfortunately, the gentleman there could only give us limited information. General maps are available there. The next ski area from Arvidsjaur was closed.
Lulea:
If you take a 1.5 h journey you can drive to Lulea on the coast. Here, for example, you can also get new infusions for the sauna :). There is a 13 km long ice rink around Lulea. Ice skates and pedal sledges can be hired free of charge. It's a lot of fun whizzing over the ice.
Trollforsen:
Trollforsen is one of the largest rapids in Europe. In winter it is not possible to drive all the way to the official parking lot. The hike up to and over the suspension bridge was breathtakingly beautiful. 2 h through the snow-covered landscape with reindeer encounters. Wonderful! Snowshoes are very beneficial!
Tip: At the intersection with the signs Trollforsen South / Trollforsen North, take the right fork (I think it was Trollforsen North) and then drive until you see the next sign for Trollforsen. Park there and go hiking.”
