Kiruna

At approximately 330 square kilometers, Lake Torneträsk (Sami Duortnosjávri) is Sweden's sixth-largest lake and is considered Scandinavia's largest fell lake. The lake, approximately 69 kilometers long, reaches depths of up to 168 meters and lies nestled among the mountains north of Kiruna. Along its southern shore lie Abisko, Björkliden, and views of the Lapporten. In winter, observe the Northern Lights here; in summer, hike under the Midnight Sun.

Gällivare, located north of the Arctic Circle in Swedish Lapland, has been a mining town since the construction of the ore railway in the late 19th century. Here you'll experience the nature of the fells, Sámi culture, and a community undergoing change: The neighbouring town of Malmberget is largely being abandoned due to ore mining. From Dundret, its local mountain, you can see the midnight sun in summer, and in winter, the chances for the Northern Lights are good.

The Abisko National Park in Swedish Lapland was founded in 1909 and covers approximately 77 square kilometers between the shore of Lake Torneträsk and the fells to the southwest. It lies about 195 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle and is considered one of the best places for observing the Northern Lights thanks to its often cloudless skies, especially from the Aurora Sky Station on Mount Nuolja. During the day, the Kungsleden invites you to hike, or you can follow the canyon of the Abiskojåkka. The Naturum Abisko provides information about the region's flora, fauna, and history. You can see the Northern Lights during the dark season from approximately September to March, and the Midnight Sun from late May to mid-July.

Abisko is located on the southern shore of Torneträsk, about 195 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle, and is one of Sweden's most famous places for observing the Northern Lights. This small village is the starting point for Abisko National Park, the Aurora Sky Station on Mount Nuolja, and the long-distance hiking trail Kungsleden. In summer, the sun doesn't set for weeks, while in winter, long nights and snow characterize the landscape.

Swedish Lapland is the Arctic part of Sweden: vast forests, fells and lakes, plus the Sámi culture. In winter, Northern Lights chances are good from September to March; in summer, the sun doesn't set from late May to mid-July. Highlights include the ICEHOTEL, the Treehotel, the Kungsleden and the UNESCO World Heritage Site Laponia.
