Did you know this about Arjeplog? • If the population density was the same as in Manhattan NY, the municipal area would accommodate the entire polulation of the USA and Canada. However there are less than 2800 inhabitants in Arjeplog wich means there are 0,2 inihibitants per square kilometer. • People lived in the area for a very long time almost 10.000 years. We have a strong belief in survival and there is also a strong desire to create a future with creative companies and enterprising people with open minds who believe in Arjeplog and it’s long-term development. • The slogan for the municipality is:
One road - many opportunities.
• There are 1600 km snowmobile tracks in
the municipality.
• The average age is 46.8 years. • Tjintokk in Slagnäs are the largest private employers in the municipality. They also have the biggest hotel in the north of Sweden.
• Arjeplog has 8727 lakes which makes it the municipality with the most water in the country. We also have Sweden’s largest mountain archipelago. • Here lives an Olympic gold medalist. His name is Klas Lestander and he won the Olympic biathlon at the 1960 Winter Olympics in Squaw Valley in California, USA. A gold he won thanks to his impressive flawless shooting. That was the first time in an International Championship that someone had a clean shooting. To pay homage to our gold medalist the square ’Gold-Klas-Square’ in central Arjeplog has been named after him. • Winter vehicle testing is the most important private industry in the municipality. From December to the beginning of April, a lot of engineers and technicians come to work on and to try out vehicles in harsh winter conditions. During a season approximately 9000 different individuals that in different ways are linked to the testing industry passthrough. In the winter we become international and languages from all around the world can be heard in restaurants, shops and in the streets.
Development of local companies trade & industry! We hope you have a successful winter! Don’t hesitate to contact us if you need help in any way.

• Slagnäs is the biggest village with its 200 inhabitants. • Silver Lodge is Sweden’s highest four-star hotel. It is located on Galtispouda Mountain. From the hotel you have a stunning view and in clear weather you can see not only the whole of central Arjeplog but all the way to Norway. • The only municipality in Norrbotten which has exactly 50 percent female and 50 percent male members in municipal politics. • Hornavan is the deepest lake in Sweden, with a depth of 226 metres. It is a lake that is famous all over the world for its big and tall char and has therefore become a popular trolling water. (Trolling is a fishing method which means that the bait is towed behind a slow moving boat with fishing rods)

Winter vehicle testing is the most important private industry in the municipality of Arjeplog. From December to the beginning of April, Arjeplog are International and languages from around the world can be heard in restaurants, shops and in the streets. Michael Lindemann, Icemakers.
Leading region in the world Arjeplog is the centre of the leading winter test region in the world. We asked Michael Lindeman, Icemakers, if this is a mere coincidence or if there are other explanations. - Historically there is an entrepreneurial spirit in Arjeplog and that’s the essence for the vehicle test activities. Combined with the availability of a lot of large lakes suitable for making test tracks and the subarctic climate it is a success. In an early stage, Arjeplog built an infrastructure for electronical systems testing and that’s another important factor. In that area, there has been a complete revolution over time. The fact that we were early with this kind of infrastructure has meant a lot to the positive development of vehicle testing activities. Another extremely important factor of success for the test region, Arjeplog/ Arvidsjaur/Slagnäs, is that customers, competitors and suppliers are all located within a one hour drive from each other and Arvidsjaur Airport. This clustering means that in a limited geographic area the world’s key people inside the testing business are present during winter time, which eases both development work and collaboration as well as it creates other opportunities to meet and benefit from each others presence.

They interact and work well together in their glassworks, Sarah Öjbrandt and Yvonne Marklund, at Norrskensglas in Arjeplog, which is necessary considering the high temperature of the molten glass.
The northernmost glassworks Besides all the beutiful glass the very first thing you notice when you step into the glassworks is the heat. And it is a pleasant change from the cold outdoors into the hot studio. And no wonder It’s hot. – The thermometer in the oven shows 1130 C, so it’s really hot in here, says Sarah Öjbrandt and Yvonne Marklund, Norrskensglas.
The company called ’Norrskensglas’ (Northern Light glass) recently celebrated their 5’th anniversary and are proud to be the northernmost glassworks in Sweden. In their cosy little shop you can buy different kinds of glass products and also get a close up look at how glassblowing is done. As the glassworks and the shop are in the same room it gives you an opportunity to see the fascinating process when glass transforms from molten glass to a finished product.

Iglootel
The Northern Lights
The Iglootel is a hotel made of snow and the cold combined with art covering igloos and walls together with fascinating lighting helps to create a very special atmosphere. The snow facility includes a bar, dining igloos, lounges, sleeping igloos, an igloo without a roof with open fires and outdoor tubs. Whether you want to sleep in an igloo, eat a meal, use the sauna or relax in an outdoor hot tub, or just drink a cup of coffee and/or join a guided tour - You are most welcome!
The Northern Lights appear from late August to early April. To be able to see them, the sky must be clear and it has to be dark enough. In general, the most powerful aurora occur before midnight. If you are here for winter activities such as skiing, dog sledding, The Iglootel, snowmobile tours - there’s a fair chance you will see them. What causes Auroras? During large solar explosions and flares, huge quantities of particles are thrown out of The Sun and into space. When the particles meet The Earth’s magnetic shield, they are led towards a circle around the North Magnetic Pole where they interact with the upper layers of the atmosphere. The energy which is then released is known as the northern lights.

interesting winter adventures Photo: Experience Arjeplog
Ride and seek A snowmobile race that combines navigation using GPS with back country snowmobiling. The contest is popular among riders all over Sweden. When ’Experience Arjeplog’ recently released this year’s competition, it only took fortyfour minutes to sell out the seventy seats that were available. In addition, 50 riders still hope for dropouts so they will have the opportunity to participate. The race will be broadcast live on the Internet, as a helicopter and a cameraman will follow the entire race from the air. The participants also wear trackers, which means that the audience will be able to follow their position on a topographic map. Then when? Saturday the 6th of February. The race starts at 9.00 am, at Experience Arjeplog. Winter 2016
Go ice fishing! Fishing is a popular spare time activity in Arjeplog, both in winter and in summer. The municipality has 8727 lakes and is Sweden´s largest mountain archipelago. The water is clear and drinkable everywhere and the fishing possibilities are almost endless. Depending on the type of fish you want, you can choose where you want to go, fishing technique, fishing tackle and what bait to use. 15

True Testing Since 1973
After more than 40 years in the business, we know for sure what all the globally leading companies require for their winter testing. Otherwise they wouldn’t be coming back, year after year. It’s a question of presenting perfect test conditions and prime security standards. But just as well about the personal treatment, making every stay memorable at Icemakers.

HORNAVANSKOLAN
AUTOMOTIVE TESTING TECHNOLOGY Hornavanskolan, with the workshop and technical laboratory, now also provides a new programme, called ‘Fordonstestteknik’, together with ‘Teknikprogrammet’ - BilSystemTeknik (BST). We are facing a shift in technology in terms of energy in vehicles. For many years to come, the development of electric and hybrid vehicles will increase and be a large part of the test operations. A vehicle testing technician will also be working with the development of products where safety regulations and recommendations have not yet been decided. For this reason, the need for greater competence in the physics and chemistry of electricity is much higher now than the usual programme in the automotive program. Our pupils in the Automotive Testing Technology programme will therefore have a good foundation to stand on when they go out
to work or choose to study further. Knowledge of a variety of computer systems is needed as well as the new technology that is becoming increasingly complex and specific to vehicles or professional fields. Therefore, our educational programme aims at developing the pupils’ ability to use computers and computer systems in whatever way required. Once they have completed the training, they will be able to work with installation, service, troubleshooting, repairs and maintenance of vehicles and measuring equipment in connection with vehicle tests.
WORK PLACEMENT During each of the three years, pupils have the opportunity to make study visits and to receive workplace training. This is possible via work placements at various motor vehicle companies, component manufacturers and others associated with the automotive industry in Sweden and in Europe.
CO-OPERATION We are very pleased with the existing co-operation between Hornavanskolan and the vehicle and component companies in Arjeplog and Arvidsjaur (both local and foreign) in terms of work placement, lectures and other forms of involvement. We hope that this co-operation will ultimately include all the companies that are winter testing in the area. This is of vital importance and a decisive factor in guaranteeing a high level of education and training. The Municipality of Arjeplog would like to thank all the companies that are working with Hornavanskolan for contributing to the success of the education programmes.

A bright future for Jäckvik

If you’d like more information or would like to buy a Top-of-Arjeplog-card, please ask a local, visit the Tourist Office (Located at the Silver Museum) or Granns Hardware store in Arjeplog. It’s a special feeling to silently glide through the quiet forest. Top of Arjeplog is a nice winter adventure that besides fresh air and exercise also gives you an opportunity to get to know Arjeplog and experience the beautiful nature in the municipality.

Jäckvik is the village with the most weekend cottages in the municipality of Arjeplog. During high season with a peak around Easter more than 3,000 people are staying in the village. A huge population increase given that normally Jäckvik only has twenty-one permanent inhabitants. By taking advantage of the great demand for outdoor tourism in the mountains the villagers have managed to generate an increased growth and optimism. - This is a chance to get new people to move here and an opportunity for all-year-round employments which is crucial for Jäckvik and our future, says Thomas Westerlund, Jäckvik Fjällcenter.
