Xero in Sweden

Last week, I forgot something. When I asked you to use your passports and fly off to Sweden in order to have the experience of a lifetime, I forgot to give you the chance to take it a step further and have an extreme adventure that you will never forget.

Before or after a Narnia-like adventure at the Ice Hotel, I should have asked you to head off to Xero and defy gravity.

Xero AB is offering the first zero-gravity flights from Kiruna, 200 kilometres north of the arctic Circle. Passengers can defy gravity 15 times during the 90-minute trip.

Founded in 2002, Xero offers a series of four flights which are scheduled 2 or 3 times a year, with only 12 passengers per flight.

Experiences such as this do not, obviously, come cheap. A weekend Kiruna package costs from 9,615US$ and up, depending on your preferred amenities. Included in the package are: a zero gravity ride, dinner with the pilots and technicians, a personalized DVD of the flight (beats showing off pictures to your friends and family!), visits to the Ice Hotel and your choice of amenities.

Apart from making a side trip to the Ice Hotel, Kiruna still has a few more up its sleeve... it's the perfect vantage point to see the fire in the sky called the Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights... experience the Saami Lifestyle, the Esrange and be part of the Midnight Sun Summer Activities.

Defy Gravity and contact Xero at:
Tel: ++ 46 980 791 70
Fax: ++ 46 980 790 50
email: sales@zero-group.com

Kiruna can be reached from Stockholm, via Scandinavian Airlines.
