Treehotel

The small village of Harads, situated in the municipality of Boden, is renowned for its impressive surroundings and the Lule river valley, creating a fusion of forest and river. From the village of Harads, a footpath leads you into the tranquillity and wilderness of the forest and to the seclusion of the Treehotel.

Built from inspiration taken from the film ‘The Tree Lover’ by Jonas Selberg Augustsen, the Treehotel consists of eight cabins each suspended 4-10 metres above the forest floor. This is a unique and exclusive haven surrounded by a backdrop of virgin nature. Whether it is for the experience, the adventure, a special occasion or simply to fulfil a childhood dream, a stay at the Treehotel will offer you an insight into nature at its best. 

Accommodation:
Gaze out at Sweden’s spectacular nature from the separate, unique, and comfortable rooms within the trees. In total there are 8 different cabins – the latest being the Biosphere, which has a façade containing 340 birds’ nests, amplifying the Treehotel’s focus on sustainability and nature tourism. The other cabins include the Mirrorcube, Bird’s Nest, The Cabin, 7th Room, UFO, Dragonfly and Blue Cone. We recommend trying out more than one room type during your stay. By doing so you will get to experience different concepts and feelings.

Furnishing and design are contemporary. Underfloor heating, combined with good insulation, ensures a warm cosy stay. Please note that most of the cabins do not have running water - a water canister is provided above the sink in the bathroom (adequate for washing hands, face and brushing teeth). The Dragonfly and 7th room have a shower and the Biosphere has a sauna and shower. Showers are located in the guest house and there are also showers in the Forest Sauna.

The Forest Sauna
Located within walking distance of the cabins, the Forest Sauna has two saunas, a hot tub, relaxation area and showers. Use of the sauna and hot tub is payable locally.
