About this role
Luleå Travel is travel agency and tour operator 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 snow shoes through forests, kayak in the Bothnian Gulf between the skerries of Luleå archipelago, and sleep in a hotel carved from ice or in a wooden nest high up in a three. We aim to reach deep into the vast Arctic expanse; during winter when the area is illuminated by one of the world’s most incredible natural phenomena, the Northern Lights, and in summer by the never-setting Arctic midnight sun.
