  When you apply
  Please tell us briefly about your experience, and why you want to spend four months in a remote forest in Swedish Lapland.
  
  We are a private luxury lodge in a scenic forest in Swedish Lapland, 5 km from the nearest neighbor and 17 km from the nearest village, where the closest shops are. The lodge has been operating since 2016 and hosts 2–6 guests at a time. Our guests are international, mostly couples and families from the US, UK and Europe. Attention to detail, authenticity, world-class hospitality and state-of-the-art facilities define our place.
  
  We, the founders and owners Eric and Jörgen, have been best friends for 35 years. We both work full-time in the business, so you will work close to us and learn from us every day.
  
  The remote location in the middle of the forest is fantastic if you love untouched nature, silence and starry skies, including the Northern Lights.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Come and experience the Swedish Arctic lifestyle, a small, private lodge in northern Sweden. The region attracts people from around the world, and as a volunteer, you become part of that mix.
  
  What you will learn and experience:
  
  Northern Swedish culture and everyday life. You’ll get to know local traditions, food and customs, from fika and home cooking to how people live with the dark, the cold and the light of the Arctic seasons.
  Hospitality at a high level. You’ll see how a small, personal lodge is run, with attention to detail, guest care and the quiet professionalism that makes people feel at home.
  Meeting the world. Our guests come from many countries. You’ll have real conversations with interesting people and practice your languages along the way.
  Teamwork in a unique place. We are a small team and solve tasks and challenges together. You work side by side with us, not behind the scenes, and you’ll learn a lot from that.
  
  A two-way exchange:
  We are curious about you. Share your language, your cooking, and your stories from home, and bring your own ideas. Your free time is yours to spend exploring the forest, the winter landscape, and the Northern Lights.

  Ajuda

  You’ll join a small team looking after our guests, with tasks in both housekeeping and service. Typical tasks include:
  
  Preparing and serving breakfast and dinner in the guests’ lodge, including carrying food 150 m along a snowy trail
  Packing lunch and equipment for the guests’ guided tours
  Cleaning and preparing the lodge: bathrooms, beds and linen, fireplace, spa, sauna, outdoor jacuzzi, firewood, snow shoveling and outdoor candles
  Dishes, laundry, ironing and keeping the kitchen in order
  Occasionally assisting our chef in the kitchen
  
  A busy day usually has a morning and an evening part, with a break in between. Quieter days and days off depend on our bookings. Total hours are a maximum of 40 per week.
  
  Our guests expect every detail to be right, so the work is physical, sometimes repetitive, and requires care. In return, you'll learn how a small, high-end lodge runs and help create a memory for life for our guests. We work as a team, and everyone helps where needed, so flexibility is key.

  Algo mais...

  Your time off is yours to enjoy, and there is plenty to explore in the boreal forest at 66° North. Borrow our snowshoes and cross-country skis for your own adventures in the surrounding wilderness, and warm up in the sauna after a day outdoors. On clear winter nights you can see the Northern Lights right from the property.
  
  We often find things to do together as a team, so you won’t be exploring alone unless you want to.
  
  We are in a remote location, 17 km from the nearest village, so a driving license is a must. You can borrow our car for grocery shopping and, by agreement, for trips on your days off. Fuel for private trips is paid by you.
