Nature Guides (full time), Swedish Lapland

Nature Guides (full time) for Luleå Travel in Swedish Lapland, November to April
Luleå Travel is an incoming travel agency and all-season activity supplier located in Luleå - Swedish Lapland. We offer attractive winter and summer programs presenting the highlights of Swedish Lapland: a magical, pristine landscape where you can steer sledges pulled by willing huskies, travel with snowshoes through forests, kayak in the Bothnian Gulf between the skerries of the Luleå archipelago, and sleep in a hotel carved from ice or in a wooden nest high in a tree. We aim to reach deep into the vast Arctic expanse: illuminated during winter by one of the world's most incredible natural phenomena, the Northern Lights, and during summer by the never-setting Arctic midnight sun.
