Europe

If we were to mention ABBA, Björn Borg, Greta Garbo or Santa Claus, what would it conjure up for you? No need to contemplate for long, it’s Sweden, of course! A magical land on the Baltic Sea, as cold as it is unpopulated. Because that’s what Sweden is: a land where there are more pine trees than people, a country undiscovered by tourists and unspoiled by the madness of men. Between stretches of water,&nbsp;sleigh dogs, herds of reindeer, the aurora borealis and royal castles, Sweden offers a dazzling spectacle of beauty and nature, particularly in Lapland. That’s one side. On its other side, you will find urban Sweden, modern and busy, the forerunner of design and the grande dame of music. You will visit the lively districts of the Stockholm archipelago and its 24,000 isles and islands. You’ll be carried away by a very special atmosphere, unique to the north, and perhaps you’ll even be taken for a Viking on the island of Björkö!

On my way back from Ritsem, I stopped off at Saltoluokta. I have to admit that it's an idyllic place, located by lake Langas and fringed by imposing mountains. It's an enjoyable trip: no one could fail to love the sight of those Swedish wooden houses scattered here in there throughout the countryside. The village, or rather, the mountain resort, can only accommodate 100 people.
Hikers coming from Kungsleden, as well as from Sarek national park, stop off at Saltoluokta. The resort has been organised so as to offer food supplies, refreshment, and even Sami art to visitors. The service really is first class, and the resort would be perfect for families. You can go fishing in the area, visit one of the largest waterfalls in Europe, or undertake numerous other activities during the day.
I'd certainly recommend this as a stop-off point on a family trip.
