Through our travel partner Polarflights.se Charter flights to Arvidsjaur are available from January to March. The departure times are selected to make our programs and your travel times the best possible or to connect them with shuttle flights from Germany and across Europe. The base HUB for these flows is Frankfurt International and, repeatedly, Brussels, Munich and Zurich. Three times a week, our ice camps in Arvidsjaur are very well connected across Europe. But in March, we are using industrial connections with Stuttgart, Hanover and Munich.
Polar flights are generally processed in Terminal 2 in areas D/E in Frankfurt. Attention, many shuttle flights arrive in Terminal 1. For the transfer from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2, we recommend taking a taxi — taking approx. 5 minutes if you have enough advice. If a shuttle flight is being used, please allow at least 90 minutes of transfer time and only travel with hand luggage, as the luggage cannot be checked through. An identity card or passport must be presented to check in. It is not possible to check in online on our charter flights. When you arrive at the airport, please search for the flight number on the display board and visit the check-in counters named there. The display is often only displayed 120 minutes before departure.
Arvidsjaur is a town in Swedish Lapland and is located about 110 km south of the Arctic Circle in central Lapland. The Swedish Lapland region covers approx. 110,000 km2. —> about ¼ of the whole of Sweden. There are around 4,000 lakes in the district of Arvidsjaur. The municipality has approximately 8,000 inhabitants. The region is also home to around 25,000 reindeer, some brown bears and elks.
Elks have a shoulder height of up to 2.30 m and can weigh up to 800 kg. —> They are also called the king of forests in Sweden. In contrast to reindeer, they are more solitary and can reach top speeds of up to 56 km/h. To avoid collisions with vehicles, roads in Sweden are elevated.
With the long winter months from November to mid-March and the average temperature of -13 degrees, the Arvidsjaur region offers the automotive industry perfect conditions for the largest automotive test laboratory in the world. It is also known as the Erlkönigs' autotest Mecca. With the accompanying darkness in these months, people used to place a candle in each window for orientation before there was electricity. Even today, you can see a lamp or candle in the windows of houses in almost every window. The typical red paint on the wooden houses is called Swedish or Ealu red and dates back to the town of Falun. There is a copper mine there, which has now been shut down, where the color pigment was extracted. The red color became popular as it is reminiscent of high-quality brick buildings. It has become the standard color for wooden houses in Sweden.
When the sun can be seen for a shorter time in winter, the magical, dark “polar nights” begin. The auroras called “aurora berealis” are a true natural phenomenon. Aurora borealis are created when electrically charged particles from the sun collide in the Earth's atmosphere. The green, red, or purple colors depend on the type of gas particles involved. When it's dark and the sky is clear, you can catch a glimpse of the bright colors that can be seen in the sky on a small lake just a few minutes' walk from the hotel.

Please decide for yourself. Lapland stretches across four country borders: Norway, Sweden, Finland and Russia. The area of Swedish Lapland consists mainly of forests or lakes and, at 350,000 km², corresponds to that of Germany. The population density of Lapland compared to the EU average is only 2%, which certifies that Lapland has one of the best CO₂ balances in the EU. A comparison of the average annual temperature:
Africa = 22°C
USA = 14°C
China = 12°C
Europe = 9°C
Lapland = 1°C
World = 15°C
A small population and little industry, an associated lower per capita income (-15% compared to Germany) and extreme climatic living conditions explain the region's strong interest in developing tourism.

Annual ESC Ice Driving CO2 emissions: ø 1.75 tons per capita — including flight, local transfers and training trips
Around 2,000 km² (0.2 hectare) of our natural local sinks (forest, bogs, fields, lakes) are sufficient to record your Lapland footprint, your CO₂ emissions (1.75 t), to then grow as forests and meadows with these CO₂ emissions — and to store these emissions.
Global Greening (the world is getting greener) Our ice center in Lapland covers an area of 15,000,000 m². This covers the CO2 foot print of 120 local residents, 1,500 ESC Lapland guests and employees, and a further 5,000 EU citizens.

The most frequently asked question: “Does my own comprehensive insurance also regulate self-inflicted damage as part of driving safety training on the racetrack?”
It's hard to give a general answer. Since our events are not races and are not intended to achieve top speed, the few losses suffered by our participants have been settled by their comprehensive insurance to date. However, you must obtain a written answer from your insurer. We are currently referring to this verdict on the subject. Our club members also enjoy the additional advantage that they can cover their vehicle all year round with our club insurer. This expressly explains the insurance coverage in accordance with the insurance conditions when participating in ESC events and is also often the price/more efficient partner. So if your insurer doesn't understand their intentions or even misinterpret them, there are flexible options available to you when you visit our training programs.
In order to be completely flexible and secure, we have relaunched the ESC comprehensive warranty as an optional additional service.
