Meeting point:

Stockholm Arlanda airport. We meet at Arlanda Visitor Center, an official information desk in Terminal 5 in the arrivals hall on the lower floor, next to cafe Ritazza. Our guide will arrive there at 3 pm, not earlier. Just wait there and look out for our WildSweden-sign. If you are on time, we will not leave without you. If we cannot find you we will try to call you. From there we take our minivan for the two hours drive to Skinnskatteberg.

Note that if your flight is delayed, we will wait for maximum of half an hour, since we have other guests joining the tour. If you arrive more than 30 minutes late you need to take a taxi to Udden guesthouse at your own expense. This ride takes two hours and cost approximately 5000 SEK for one car, so that is pricey, but you may be able to get compensation from your travel insurance.

­

Many guests choose to visit Stockholm before the tour begins. If you do, you still need to return to Arlanda airport to meet our guide.

At the end of the tour

we will take you to a train station for a train to Stockholm Central Station, ticket included. From Stockholm you can easily continue on your own to Arlanda airport with a shuttle train or bus. You will be in Stockholm at around 6pm and Arlanda at 6.30 pm at the earliest. This means you cannot plan for any flight earlier than 8pm, or you can stay an extra night at the airport, or better in Stockholm before you return home. If you want to stay some extra nights at Udden guesthouse we kindly ask you to book the extra nights directly with Udden. Please note that if you decide to stay extra nights at Udden you will need to arrange the train ticket to Stockholm on your own, however, we will provide a taxi to Skinnskatteberg free of charge.

If you arrive by car

please arrive by 5 pm at Udden Retreat in Baggbron, a 2 hour drive from Stockholm. Address: Udden 1, Skinnskatteberg >> Link to Google Maps
