FLYING (ALMOST) SOLO

Given the ever-growing issue of overtourism, far-flung retreats are on the rise. One of the latest is Niehku, a plush lodge in the mountains of Swedish Lapland, 200km north of the Arctic Circle. Surrounded by over 5,000km² of skiing terrain and more than 60 mountain peaks, the lodge specialises in heli-skiing, where visitors are dropped on the slopes by helicopter. Of course, on the 68th parallel north, snow is guaranteed. ● niehku.com
