Three years ago Janne and Sebastian of Nordic Lapland took over the camping facility at Frevisoren with a goal to upgrade the whole resort and create a year-round property attracting guests from all over the world to experience nature, the wilderness and, of course, the northern lights.
The resort is accessed from Rovaniemi (2 hrs 15 min transfer) and Lulea (90 minutes transfer).
Directly located on the River Kalix, one of the major rivers of northern Sweden with a length 461 km, and on a peninsula, there is open sea on one side and an inland bay on the other. The small town of Kalix with a population of 16,000 is a 10 minute drive away and it is a five minute drive from where the Polar Explorer icebreaker leaves to cruise the frozen sea. This is a unique experience and where the vessel creates a pool astern free of ice, then any visitor willing to do so can swim in the icy water wearing a swimsuit!
This area is true wilderness but has the advantage of being able to visit Kalix, in the heart of Swedish Lapland, with its shops and restaurants. And if you are a lover of caviar, then the local delicacy is Kalix Lojrom which has Protected Designation of Origin status. You can also join a roe safari where you can taste this ‘Red Gold’.
The resort has a main building where the bar and restaurant are located (as well as a pool table). The restaurant is popular with locals at the weekend as it has a very good reputation.
There is a mix of accommodation at the resort but we only feature the fully renovated cabins which are right on the waterfront and 10 metres from the sea (frozen in winter).
Accommodation is either on a half board or full board basis and meals offer an a la carte choice.
