Between cameras, cold weather, and fine cuisine: Arctic Flames 2026

Four days. A place high up in Swedish Lapland. An event you will always remember: Arctic Flames.

Friday through to Monday, the icy terrain of Sweden turned into a playground full of adventure, indulgence, and extraordinary encounters. You could feel the adrenaline in the air as the snowmobiles raced across the frozen lakes and the huskies breath ecoing through the forest as the sleds silently moved through the deep snow, and during the buggy drift, the cold air was irrelevant.

Alongside the action, the culinary experience was not to be outdone. High-quality Chianina beef and Iberico pork from the Chianina farm in Styria (Austria) as well as salmon and reindeer from the region met open flames and pure passion for cooking. On an OFYR cooking unit from the FYRON brand, ingredients were sizzled , refined, and served: from juicy T-bone steaks to spicy chili-cheese sausages and the finest fillets, all the way to vegetarian dishes, everything was prepared over an open fire for more than 50 guests.

Behind the outdoor cooking station: the RibEye Boys

The RibEye Boys – no other than Nino Sifkovits, one of Europe’s largest Chianina cattle breeders, and Robert Buchberger, the owner of the traditional family butcher shop Buchberger, founded in Styria in 1946. Two true originals from Styria, who brought not only their exceptional meat but also a good dose of charisma to the far north. Even far from the lodge, the culinary delights were not to be missed: as the snowmobile engines came to a hold right in the middle of the outback, our guests were treated to the finest cuisine. Outdoor chef Marcus Sämmer was waiting for them with a warming reindeer ramen soup – just the right thing to warm up during a day in the icy winter landscape.

And as if that weren’t enough, Arctic Flames also became a film set

Jimi Blue and Wilson Gonzales Ochsenknecht arrived with a film crew to shoot footage for their Sky series “Diese Ochsenknechts.” This marked the beginning of a second, equally intense story behind the scenes.

The Alpha One team took full charge of supporting the production crew. Accommodations, shuttle services, flights, equipment checks for temperatures as low as -30 degrees: everything was meticulously prepared. Together with the film crew, detailed schedules were developed, based on which suitable locations in Arvidsjaur were scouted.

That’s when things really got going: the film crew was seamlessly integrated into the world of Arctic Flames. Together with our guides, we transported the cameramen on snowmobiles so they could film spectacular action scenes up close during the tour. The cold Arctic surroundings presented challenges, which our team overcame with creative solutions to ensure the highest quality content was filmed and delivered.

At the same time, our Alpha One content creators captured the entire weekend on film and video, which was later also made available to the production team.

Despite all the behind-the-scenes activity, there was one clear priority: the guests. The film production was intentionally kept separate so that the 30 exclusive participants could enjoy their Arctic adventure undisturbed.

Arctic Flames was no ordinary event

It was an experience of extremes: freezing temperatures, blazing flames, untamed nature, and the finest cuisine. Four days that demonstrated what happens when a spirit of adventure, passion, and teamwork come together.
