Winter and spring
Winter transforms Harads into a glittering white landscape. Winter brings days when temperatures can sink to minus 30°C, but also mild and sunny days. There are beautiful trails around the corner and, if you want to explore further, Storklinten has several good runs and is just a 20-minute drive away from Treehotel.
But maybe you want to experience a tranquil winter in the forest on a pair of snowshoes or wide touring skis? Or perhaps you want to go on an action-packed trip with dog sleds on the frozen Lule River?
