Norrbotten

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.

Kiruna

Kiruna is the northernmost town in Sweden, above the Arctic Circle, founded in 1900 around the Kiirunavaara iron mine. The mine is advancing beneath the town, which is being gradually moved to a new center. It is the gateway to Lapland: 17 km away are the Icehotel and the village of Jukkasjärvi, with Sami culture, and 95 km away is Abisko. The northern lights are usually visible from September to March.
