Escapism is something we are in dire need of right now which is why virtual travel is booming.
In the past few weeks we've been able to tour the most stunning national parks in the US, go on a virtual safari and even seen the Netherlands’ famous tulips in bloom.
Now, virtual travel experts Virtually Visiting have created the world’s first four-day virtual ‘holiday’ through Arctic Sweden.
Starting this Saturday, April 18, each day of the ‘trip’ sees new experiences released which will take guests on a wintery tour of Swedish Lapland - and the holiday is free of charge.
Jonny Cooper, founder of Virtually Visiting, says: “We wanted to put you right in the action, allowing you to experience tours as though you were there. This is about keeping the travel experience real; we meet some of the best local guides who walk us through local life to give guests the real-life experience – from their own homes.”
The first day will see guests arrive 144km north of the Arctic Circle to the famous ICEHOTEL in Kiruna, and take a tour before it begins to melt away as spring sets in. Here, ICEHOTEL guide Matilda will give guests a personal tour around the hotel and into four of the intricately carved ice rooms.
On Sunday, April 19, guests will head south to Lassbyn to meet local guide and founder of the Aurora Safari Camp, Fredrik Broman who will take guests on a snowmobile adventure through the Swedish wilderness.
Monday, April 20, guests will meet the founder of the luxury Treehotel, Kent Lindvall who will take you on a tour of seven tree-top hotel rooms. And the final day, Tuesday April 21, guests will join Erik Hordijk from Yellow Snow Husky Tours in Kroktask to learn about huskies and set off on a dog sled adventure.
