A SWEDISH LAPLAND STORY

Virtual Reality

An interactive experience

Obviously the best way to enjoy Swedish Lapland is to go on an adventurous trip. However, the second-best way is to see it in virtual reality. We have put together an experience showing some of the things we like to do here in the Arctic part of Sweden. Make sure you have your sound turned on as a local guide will tell you all about the Icehotel, the reindeer and dogsledding in Swedish Lapland.

Step 4: Moving through the experience. Tap on one of the texts to load a new scene. This will bring you to a new location with something new to discover. There are always several links in a scene so there is a choice to go back and forth in the experience.
