Essential clothing for cold temperatures
Winter holidays in Arvidsjaur can surprise you with freezing temperatures and wintry conditions, so it's crucial that you pack the right clothing. The right choice will help you stay warm and dry, whether you're hiking through the snow-covered landscape or ice fishing.
Layer principle for optimum protection
The so-called ‘onion skin principle’ is the key to protecting yourself from winter conditions. This involves wearing several layers that you can adjust depending on the temperature and your activity. The bottom layer should be made of breathable materials such as merino wool or functional fibres that wick moisture away from your body. Over this, you wear an insulating layer, for example made of fleece or down, which keeps you warm. The outer layer should be windproof and waterproof to protect you from snow and cold.

Waterproof and warm outdoor clothing
In addition to layering, it is important to pack clothing that is specifically suited for winter outdoor activities. A waterproof winter jacket and sturdy snow trousers are essential. Make sure your shoes are waterproof and warmly lined, as wet feet can quickly lead to an uncomfortable experience. Gloves, a hat and a warm scarf complete your outfit and ensure that you are prepared for all weather conditions.
Equipment for activities in the snow
A winter holiday in Arvidsjaur offers a wide range of exciting activities in the snow. To ensure you can enjoy them to the full, you should be well prepared and take the right equipment with you. Whether you're out on skis, snowshoes or a sledge, the right equipment will ensure you get through the winter safely and comfortably.
Ski equipment and snowshoes
If you are planning to go skiing in Arvidsjaur or embark on a snowshoe hike, it is essential to have the right equipment. If you do not have your own equipment, you can hire it locally, but there are a few things you should bring with you:
Ski goggles: Good ski goggles protect your eyes from the bright winter sun and snow reflections. Make sure that the goggles fit well and offer clear vision even when it is snowing.
Helmet: Safety first! A helmet is mandatory on the slopes and protects you in the event of falls or collisions.
Ski pants and ski jacket: For maximum comfort and protection, wear waterproof and breathable clothing that keeps you warm and dry.
If you prefer snowshoeing, sturdy footwear and robust snowshoes are necessary to prevent you from sinking into deep snow. Hiking poles with snow baskets also provide additional support and make it easier to move forward.
Sledges and other winter gadgets
Even if skiing isn't your thing, there are many other exciting ways to experience winter in Arvidsjaur. A sleigh ride on the snow-covered slopes can be just as much fun and is less demanding. Pack a light but sturdy sleigh that you can easily carry with you.
The following gadgets are also useful:
Thermos flask: So you always have hot tea or coffee at hand during your activities. A hot drink in between can work wonders.
Heat packs: These small, portable heat sources for your hands or feet are ideal for keeping you warm in particularly cold temperatures.
Snow shovel: If you’re venturing off the slopes or planning a long winter hike, a small, collapsible snow shovel could come in handy.
With the right gear, you’ll be all set for any winter adventure in Arvidsjaur and can enjoy the snow to the fullest.

Essential travel accessories
In addition to warm clothing and the right equipment, there are a few other important items that should not be missing from your packing list for your winter holiday in Arvidsjaur. These will ensure that your trip goes smoothly and that you can concentrate on your winter adventures.
Travel documents, passports and airline tickets
Before your winter adventure begins, make sure you have all the necessary travel documents to hand. These include:
ID card or passport: Make sure your ID document is valid and that you have it safely stored away.
Flight tickets and booking confirmations: Keep all important information digitally and in print so that you can access it quickly if necessary. An additional copy can be very useful in an emergency.
Health insurance card: Especially on an active holiday, it is important that you are covered in case of an accident. It is best to check in advance what services your health insurance covers abroad.
A well-organised travel folder containing all your documents ensures that you can start your holiday stress-free.
Charging cables, power banks and adapters
Before your winter adventure begins, make sure you have all the necessary travel documents to hand. These include:
Charging cables for all devices: Pack the right charging cables for your smartphone, camera, laptop or tablet. Nothing is more annoying than suddenly finding yourself without battery power.
Power bank: Your smartphone battery can quickly run out, especially during outdoor activities. A power bank ensures that you always have enough power when you’re on the go.
Plug adapter: Find out in advance whether you need a special plug adapter for Sweden so that you can charge your devices without any problems.
With these essential travel items, you will be well prepared to enjoy your winter holiday in Arvidsjaur in a relaxed manner and without any technical complications.
Health and safety precautions
A winter holiday in Arvidsjaur is not only beautiful, but can also present some challenges for your health and safety. To be fully prepared, it is important to pay attention to both the winter conditions and your personal health.
Sunscreen and moisturiser for cold air
Although it is often grey and cloudy in winter, you should not underestimate how strong the sun's rays can be – especially when they are reflected off the snow. Even when it is cold, your skin and eyes are exposed to the sun. It is therefore advisable to apply sunscreen with a high sun protection factor to protect your skin from UV rays. The dry cold can also be very harsh on your skin. Moisturisers help to prevent chapped and cracked skin. Make sure that the cream is suitable for winter conditions, i.e. does not contain a high water content, as this could freeze at low temperatures.
First aid kit and medication
Making sure you have a well-stocked first aid kit with you is especially important when participating in outdoor activities in winter. Simple items such as plasters, bandages and antiseptic ointments should always be within easy reach in case you sustain a minor injury. If you take medication regularly, you should also bring enough supplies for the entire duration of your stay, as it may be difficult to get refills in remote areas. It is particularly important to pack medication for colds or headaches, as the cold air can exacerbate these symptoms.
By taking these precautions, you can ensure that you stay healthy and safe during your winter holiday and enjoy the beauty of the snow-covered landscapes to the fullest.

Technical gadgets and camera equipment
A winter holiday in Arvidsjaur offers breathtaking natural scenery and unforgettable moments that you will want to capture forever. To document your experiences in the best possible way and find your way around safely in winter, it is essential to have the right technical equipment.
Camera for unique winter shots
The snow-covered forests, frozen lakes and winter light offer perfect conditions for impressive photos. A good camera is therefore an essential item in your luggage. If you have an SLR camera, we recommend taking a wide-angle lens with you to capture the vastness of the landscape. Make sure your camera is suitable for winter use and will work reliably in cold temperatures. Another important consideration is battery life. As batteries drain faster in the cold, you should bring several spare batteries with you and keep them close to your body to keep them warm.
For those who like to take photos with their smartphone, there are handy gadgets such as external lenses or tripods that make your shots look even more professional. Here, too, it is important to have a power bank with you so that you don't run out of battery at the crucial moment.
GPS and maps for outdoor navigation
It is particularly important to be able to find your way around when winter hiking or exploring off the beaten track. A GPS device or an app that also displays offline maps is essential. Do not rely solely on your smartphone, as its battery can quickly run out in cold temperatures. A classic GPS device or a good old-fashioned hiking map is worth its weight in gold in many situations.
It is also helpful to memorise the route before you set off or take a hiking map with you so that you can find your way around even in bad weather or poor visibility.
With the right technical equipment, you can not only capture the best moments, but also ensure that you can enjoy your winter holiday in Arvidsjaur in a relaxed and safe manner.
