The city
What to expect from Abisko.
Abisko is a small village on the shore of lake Torneträsk, about 95 km from Kiruna, facing the mountains on the border with Norway. It has Abisko National Park, with the Abiskojåkka canyon, the start of the Kungsleden trail and the Lapporten valley view. Because it often has clear skies, it is much sought after for aurora viewing from September to March at the Aurora Sky Station.
