The Story behind Lighten Up North

About Us

Resilience & Lust for Life

All the animals that you will meet at Granberget View Lodge were given a second chance or life as part of the Striders Adventures family and their stories are inspiring and uplifting.

They incarnate resilience and lust for life. Genuinely authentic, cheerful, playful, affectionate, full of life, a bit cheeky sometimes, they live fully in the Here and Now. If they know when to rest and recharge, they are always up for any new activity or adventure.

Lighten Up at Granberget View Lodge

We wanted to create a place where people would get to experience this amazing energy and connection with animals, could reset and re-energise in a beautiful, natural setting, feel at home away from home, get to explore wide open spaces and discover life up north. A place that would Lighten people Up and from which you’d leave fully refreshed.

We found this place at the foot of the mountains in Swedish Lapland. A place with a huge potential if only it would be given a second chance. A challenge made for us (!): to turn this Norrland wilderness camp into a feel-good place, simultaneously relaxing & buzzing with good vibes.

International nomads with a Swiss touch

Throughout our career path in different areas, we both always had a sweet spot for private customers and small groups and privileged quality over quantity. We have also seen and experimented a lot during our numerous travels alone or with the animal tribe. The activities and stays that we offer are a perfect blend of our gathered experience, core values and belief in alternative tourism.

Looking forward to welcoming you!
