Jokkmokk

Jokkmokk, located in Swedish Lapland north of the Arctic Circle, is a significant center of Sami culture and tradition. Here you will find the Ájtte Swedish Mountain and Sami Museum, which offers comprehensive insights into the Sami way of life and the region's Arctic nature. The town is particularly known for the Jokkmokk Winter Market, held annually in February, a traditional gathering place for trade, culture, and community for over 400 years. In winter, the surrounding landscape offers ideal conditions for dog sledding and observing the Northern Lights. In summer, however, you can experience the Midnight Sun and go on extensive hikes in the vast wilderness. Early booking of accommodation is advisable for a visit to the Winter Market. Away from market days, the tranquil atmosphere invites you to discover local handicrafts in the small studios.
