Arvidsjaur Airport: where to stay, areas and recommended hotels

The airport, historically linked to the winter testing of major car brands on the area's frozen lakes, is 5-10 km from central Arvidsjaur: a taxi takes about 10 minutes and can also be shared with other passengers for about 140 SEK a head.
