Who hasn’t dreamed of leaving everything behind, setting off on an adventure far from modern constraints, to reconnect with what truly matters? This dream of freedom was immortalized by the film Into the Wild, inspired by the true story of Christopher McCandless. At the heart of this quest stood an old abandoned bus in the Alaskan wilderness—now the ultimate symbol of escape. This bus, nicknamed the “Magic Bus,” is much more than a rusty vehicle. It represents a way of life, a philosophy: a return to nature, voluntary simplicity, and the raw experience of the world. It is in this same spirit that we created one of our campgrounds in the heart of Swedish Lapland.
A Bus in the Heart of Nature — Arctic Edition
Tucked away between snow-covered forests and frozen lakes, our converted bus is a one-of-a-kind refuge for adventurers seeking authenticity. Directly inspired by McCandless’s Magic Bus, it has found its home in a remote corner of Lapland. Accessible only by dog sled or cross country skies, it has no electricity, no running water. Just the warmth of a wood-burning stove, the soft glow of candlelight, and the striking silence of the Lapland’s wilderness.
Every winter, we take our guests on multi-day polar expeditions, far from all traces of civilization. After a day spent crossing vast open landscapes with our sled dogs, we gather in this timeless bus. We share simple meals, stories, and quiet, suspended moments. It’s a bubble—an escape from the noise—a return to what truly matters. It is a nod to another way of living.
A Living Tribute to the Into the Wild Spirit
Our bus isn’t a replica—it’s an interpretation. It tells its own story: one of a place built with passion and deep respect for nature, offering everyone a space for true disconnection. Where the Magic Bus marked the tragic end of a journey, ours celebrates connection—with oneself, with nature, and with others.
If Into the Wild moved you—if you dream of chosen solitude, pure adventure, and starlit nights with no signal—then our camp is made for you. You don’t need to travel to Alaska to live this experience. Swedish Lapland is waiting—and so is the bus.
