Brief description
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapland_(Sweden)
2025: "Lapland, also known by its Swedish name Lappland, is a province in northernmost Sweden. It borders the Swedish provinces of Jämtland, Ångermanland, Västerbotten, and Norrbotten, as well as Norway and Finland. Nearly a quarter of Sweden's land area is in Lapland.
The historical province of Lapland originally extended further eastward. However, in 1809 the Russian Empire annexed the eastern part of Sweden and formed the Grand Duchy of Finland in that territory. This effectively split Lapland into a Swedish part and a Finnish part, both of which still exist today. Swedish Lapland primarily consists of the inland parts of Västerbotten County in the south and Norrbotten County in the north. It has the coldest climates of Sweden, with vast seasonal differences caused by the high latitudes and the inland location."

"The northernmost part of Sweden is home to northern Europe's indigenous people: the Sami. This means that Sweden's Arctic destination – Swedish Lapland – is part of Sápmi. This magnificent landscape holds an equally magnificent story. We went travelling by car through an exciting, beautiful world rich in culture: Sweden's northernmost part of Sápmi.
There are hundreds of Sami companies – guides, craftsmen, chefs – in the destination we call Swedish Lapland. Individuals and entrepreneurs who want nothing more than to convey part of their Sami story. Because the Sami don’t just have the one story: just like any place, culture or setting, every individual has their own story, and that story becomes part of a larger whole. Whether you want to immerse yourself in a strong cultural life, experience exciting adventures in nature, or savour some of the best gastronomy Sweden’s Arctic has to offer, the Sami tradition is a big part of your northern journey. In every possible way, it’s impossible to imagine an Arctic lifestyle without the Sami included."
