Granö Beckasin

Granö, Lapland

Bird's-nest cabins built from reclaimed timber high in the pines above the Ume river.

Why we love it

The Bird's Nests are treetop cabins built from recycled materials and fitted to hotel standard, set among pines above the Ume river in southern Lapland. A twelve-room eco-hotel was added in 2014 for anyone who would rather not climb.

Granö is a village on the river rather than a resort, and the operation is run with the surrounding valley in mind — beaver safaris, fishing, and the aurora from autumn onwards.

Best for: northern Sweden with a river underneath you
