About Us

Why We Built
Coldcation

We went to Sweden to escape the heat. We never really came back.

Our Story

Sweden Changed Everything

Coldcation started with a simple frustration: we were tired of coming home from summer holidays more exhausted than when we left.

Two weeks in Malaga. Forty-two degrees. Sunburned, sleep-deprived, slightly dehydrated. "Refreshed," we told people, because what else do you say.

The following summer, on a whim, we booked a cabin near Dalarna instead. Within three days, we understood something we hadn't before: the purpose of a holiday isn't to endure heat, it's to restore yourself. And Sweden, with its extraordinary nature, mild air, and radical right to roam freely through any land, is one of the world's most effective places to do exactly that.

Coldcation.se is our attempt to tell that story to everyone who's reached a point where the traditional "beach holiday" no longer satisfies – and who might not yet know that Sweden exists as an alternative.
