Ring In The New Year: 5 Last-Minute Scandinavian Trips To Book Now

Harads, Sweden

Harads is located almost at the Northern tip of Sweden, where natural Northern lights take the place of city lights. While this cold little town lacks the city buzz, it makes up for in outdoor activities such as snowshoe hiking and speedy skijoring (horse-pulled skiing). Furthermore, it is home to the very avant garde Treehotel, where ‘tree rooms’ are suspended 4-6 meters above ground on trees - making them the ultimate tree house. Each room features a unique design, ranging from a reflective glass cube that camouflages itself amongst its surroundings, to a futuristic circular pod that looks like a spaceship caught in a tree.
