Peace and Quiet Hotel is run by me, Björn Hedlund-Länta. I grew up in the Scandinavian wilderness and had outdoor life as my passion, spending more than 3,000 nights in forests and mountains before I turned 20. My interest in mountains then led me to become a mountain guide, which I have been for the past decade. During these years, I have had the pleasure of teaching thousands of people how to survive and become friends with the subarctic environment in both summer and winter through extensive course activities.
I am truly passionate about sharing the silent knowledge of nature that I have received from my mentors and my own experiences. I can offer customized arrangements according to your wishes. This is my basic offering.
SUMMER
Midnight Sun Panorama Boat
Stay in the heart of Lapland’s nature, out on the beautiful waters of the Lule River. Enjoy the midnight sun’s golden-red light from your comfortable hotel bed with Sarek’s beautiful silhouettes as a backdrop. You float gently through the landscape during dinner and can enjoy the tranquil life. The guide quietly steers you forward with the panorama boat’s silent electric motor. After a refreshing midnight sun swim, you can fish through the boat’s floor or sun yourself on deck. After an unforgettable night, you can continue with optional activities, but I always recommend making a shore excursion to step into Eva Gunnare’s magical world where you can experience Lapland nature up close with all your senses. In the right season, you can return to the boat and prepare the most delicious cloudberry pie with vanilla sauce, or perhaps a grilled reindeer fillet with hand-picked lingonberries and creamy chanterelle sauce.

SUMMER
Midnight Sun Panorama Boat
Stay in the middle of Lapland nature, out on the beautiful water of the Lule River. Enjoy the midnight sun’s golden red light from your comfortable hotel bed with Sarek’s beautiful silhouettes as a backdrop. You float slowly in the landscape during dinner and enjoy the still life. The guide drives quietly with the panoramic boat’s low-powered electric motor. After a refreshing midnight sun dip, you can fish through the floor of the boat or sun dry on the deck. After an unforgettable night you can continue to take part in optional activities, but I always recommend doing a beach cut and stepping into Eva Gunnare’s magical world where you get to experience the Lapland nature up close with all your senses. If it is the right season, you can come home to the boat and prepare the most delicious cloudberry pie with vanilla sauce yourself or why not a grilled reindeer file with your own pickled raw lingonberries and cream chanterelle sauce.
