It comes with 14 double rooms. The interiors were designed by the celebrated Stylt agency. Niehku – which means “dream” in Sami – is built on the site of the Sweden/Norway trailine’s old roundhouse.

Sweden stands as a beacon of progress and inclusivity in the realm of LGBTQ+ rights, consistently leading the way with its comprehensive policies and societal acceptance. As one of the first countries to legalize same-sex sexual activity in 1944, Sweden has long been at the forefront of LGBTQ+ equality. In 2009, the country legalized same-sex marriage, granting LGBTQ+ couples full legal recognition and rights.
Sweden’s commitment to its LGBTQ+ citizens is reflected in its robust anti-discrimination laws, which cover sexual orientation and gender identity in employment, education, and public services. The country’s inclusive education policies ensure that LGBTQ+ issues are addressed in schools, creating an environment where young people can feel accepted and supported. Additionally, Sweden is home to a vibrant LGBTQ+ community with numerous community centers, Pride events, and cultural activities that celebrate diversity and foster connection.
This welcoming atmosphere makes Sweden a model of acceptance and a safe haven for LGBTQ+ travelers and residents alike. Visitors can explore the country’s progressive cities, including Stockholm and Gothenburg, where LGBTQ+ individuals are celebrated and can freely express their identities without fear. Sweden’s legal protections, social acceptance, and vibrant LGBTQ+ culture offer a unique experience, ensuring that everyone feels welcome in this inclusive and forward-thinking nation.
Accommodation
Accomodation
The rooms are very comfortable and well-appointed. The design has a classic Scandi feel. Warmly accented colours and wooden-panelled walls have the classic Swedish country retreat vibe. The rooms are fairly small but you’re unlikely to find a more luxurious base from which to explore the wilderness.
