Polar Park

Zoo
Outdoor Activities
Polar Park is a family-friendly zoo and polar park located about two hours away from Tromso. It offers large enclosures where visitors can observe arctic fauna such as wolves, brown bears, lynx, arctic foxes, elk, reindeer, musk-oxen, roe deer and moose. The park also provides guided tours for a more informative experience.
What a great place. We were lucky to be there on a Viking cruise with a guide who was feeding along the way and informing us of the different animals. We got to hear the wolves howl and see most of all the creatures in the natural habitats!!!
Jep R — Google review
The only good thing about this park was that the animals had a lot of space, it was really nice to see. However, it is way overpriced for what you actually got to see. The goats and sheep were right near the entrance and you could even go into the goat enclosure if you wanted. The enclosures are set up in a way that makes it very hard to see the animals. If the price was reduced it wouldn’t have been as bad, but any child would have been exceedingly disappointed with the lack of animals. There was only 1 moose (that we could see), couldn’t see the wolves at all, couldn’t see the reindeer, saw the bears, couldn’t see the Lynx, saw the deer, couldn’t see the Musk Ox.
Molly K — Google review
We had the most incredible experience here! Even with the large, natural enclosures, we saw EVERY animal except for the wolverine. I went in with low expectations because natural habitat zoos give the animals plenty of places to get away and hide from the visitors, but that wasn't the case during our visit. We loved it.
Aimee E — Google review
We visited the Polar park today in the awful rain but still it was a great place to visit just remember your waterproofs of it's raining as it's obvious out in the open. We arrived and we where greeted At the entrance by a very friendly lady who told us all about the park and some advice on how best to spend our time. We spent over two hours walking around the park enjoying seeing the animals though due to the poor weather we couldn't see the Lynx or Wolverine but it's one of those things you have to expect unless you arrive as they are feeding the animals in the morning. We managed to see all the other animals and it was nice to see they had big enclosures in a very natural environment. After getting drenched in the rain we headed back to the cafe and had lunch which was very nice and even tried a reindeer burger which was beautiful. There was also a well stocked gift shop there too if you fancied a trinket for your visit. Overall a really interesting place to go and see some of Norway's wildlife and learn more about them.
Tom B — Google review
Great zoo, must do the tour with a guide. That makes it great, otherwise you would not see the animals at all. As they just want some food, and they can do some tricks as well.
Vincent M — Google review
Park is really nice, great maintained, with a cozy small dining space and souvenir shop at the entrance. On the day of my visit was quite a rain, so I suggest to check up on weather forecast beforehand 😌 If you decide to have a quick bite, reindeer hamburger was 10/10.
Jovanna M — Google review
Make sure you go on the guided tour, our guide was able to get all the animals except the lynx to come out. Otherwise you can spend hours staring through the trees trying to see any animals
Sandy D — Google review
Amazing park, you might not see all the animals unless you go with the feeding at 16.30. but in my opinion that is a good thing, the animals can hide and seek rest. They are not on display like a attraction and the animal wellfair seems really really good❤️ i got to see all the animals❤️

Vadvetjåkka National Park

National park
Nature & Parks
Parks
Remote protected wetland with ox-bow lakes, known for reindeer herding, birdlife & wilderness walks.
Very remote national park. It takes 10km one way to get there from car parking. But it’s so worth it. Loved the hike. Nature is very beautiful. It’s very wet good boats recommended. There is lots of spot to put up tent. Really enjoyed remote location. Recommend to take mosquitoes repellent with you. Hike it self I would rate easy it gets more challenging if you want to do it in one day. I staying overnight and exploring national park on day 2 and got back great experience.
Martins F — Google review
Quite a scenic hike to the national park. Amazing views of the mountain range all along the hike. Within the national park, you don’t have any marked trails so be sure to carry a map and compass. Also be ready to wade through water to get into the actual part of the park. From the outer boundary, you can climb the hill after the suspension bridge to get an amazing view of the river delta.
Eshwar S — Google review
Way over rated... Full of bugs, it takes forever to get there, and you don't see anything new. Don't waste your time.
Jawad E — Google review
(Translated by Google) If you want to hike alone, Vadvetjåkka is the best. You rarely meet people who hike that trail, most of them go to Trollsjön. Fairly easy hiking all the way before you reach Vadvetjåkka's bridge, if you want to get into the NP itself you have to be prepared to get a little wet. Running streams with water are found a little here and there, the first is at the parking lot, then it becomes the first when you place the cabin. An old copper mine from the 19th century can be seen on the road. Bring a fishing rod and fishing card if you want to fish. (Original) Vill man ha ensligt vandring så är Vadvetjåkka den bästa. Man möter sällan folk som vandra den leden, dem flesta åker till Trollsjön. Ganska lätt vandring hela vägen innan man når Vadvetjåkkas bron, ska man ta sig in i själva NP måste man vara beredd på att bli lite blöt. Rinnande bäckar med vatten finns lite här och där, första är vid parkeringen, sedan blir det först när man placera stugan. En gammal koppargruva från 1800 talet finns att se påvägen. Ta med fiske spö och fiske kort om ni vill fiska.
Mayanjanthira — Google review
(Translated by Google) Nice, fairly flat walk to the national park from Kopparåsen (10 km one way). There is a lot of fun to see on the way - don't miss the Kuokkel copper mines halfway. (Original) Trevlig, rätt platt promenad till nationalparken från Kopparåsen (10 km enkel väg). Finns mycket kul att se på vägen - missa inte Kuokkel koppargruvor halvvägs.

(Translated by Google) Wilderness was where September 1985 went on to Treriksröset, a trip of about 30 miles, the first snow came up at a fishing camp. (Original) Vildmark var där september 1985 gick vidare till Treriksröset en tur på ca 30 mil första snön kom uppe vid en fiskecamp.

Wonderful resort, with cozy and functional cabins (with private sauna!!). The staff are welcoming and helpful, the common areas are clean and comfortable. You can rent all the skiing and hiking equipment on the premises, and it's a great place for aurora hunting. A word of advise tho - bring your own linen and loo roll!! The ones they supply (at least in the cabins) are like cheap and rough like sandpaper. Would totally recommend for anyone seeking accommodation with a great view and easy access to the national park and all its beauty 🏞️

Location is great for hiking etc. outdoor activities. The campsite is not particularly nice for people with tents, most of the ground is gravel (so good for caravans and mobile homes). The service building has good basic facilities but the reception is up at the hotel on the hillside.
Jani K — Google review
The cabins are overpriced with no view at all (most of them). All I could see was the neighbouring cabins, and it was sold with "nice view to the fjells & the lake". Good hiking opportunities, good view if you just go out from the cabin village (stugbyn). Pictured: "the view" from the main window.

Stayed in cabin 81, one of their more luxurious ones. It was overall a great experience. Nice rooms, nice hot tub, sauna and what not. The stove window was not cleaned though so the live fire didn't bring the coziness it should. The Julbord was great, one of the better ones I've had. Five stars to the restaurant. I mean, even the kale was wonderful
Johan V — Google review
The hotel may be ok, but the campsite is quite dusty and the camping pitches are not really nice, there is only one service house and for check in and check out you have to go to the hotel reception about 1 km away Campsite away. The nature around the hotel is very nice and you can make some great walks around this place

Abisko National Park is a stunning and diverse destination, offering a range of activities from hiking to winter sports. The park boasts well-equipped mountain huts and beautifully planned trails for visitors to explore. With its breathtaking vistas, including the Nallo Valley, and the opportunity to witness the Northern Lights, it's an essential stop in Sweden.
Beautiful area for wildlife and walking. Weather very changeable so need sunhat jumper waterproofs and sturdy boots!
Melanie G — Google review
This is actually more than five stars. You should go there in summer. Otherwise there is only snow to see. In summer it's such a paradise. If you're living in Sweden add this to your bucket list. The road view is fantastic and extremely beautiful. I give five Stars to Abisko waterfall too. Here I have attached some photos for you. You have to take a hike there. Be ready for it. If I saw something ugly, it was big annoying mosquitos all around me asking me to feed them. If I didn't hold tight, sure they take me with them 🤣.

Abisko national Park has a lot of different paths to walk, each offering a great view no matter the time of year. Went in the autumn before the snow came, and the landscape here is truly unique. A must see in swedish Lapland.

We didn't know about this place and stopped here by an accident – we say a river with a mighty stream. We took a walk along the canyon and discovered the trails, and another waterfall. The place is very picturesque on a sunny day, the water is cristal blue and we were lucky to see it in its full.

Here is some information about Abisko National Park: ​Location: Abisko National Park is located in the Swedish province of Lapland, within Kiruna Municipality, about 195 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. It is situated near the border with Norway, on the shores of Lake Torneträsk. ​Landscape: The park features a stunning alpine landscape with a valley surrounded by the Abisko Alps. The Abiskojåkka river flows through the valley and a dramatic canyon. The area is characterized by birch forests, alpine meadows, and permafrost terrain. ​Key Attractions and Activities: ​Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis): Abisko is considered one of the best places in the world to view the Northern Lights due to its unique microclimate, which often results in clear skies. The Aurora Sky Station, accessible by a chairlift on Mount Nuolja, provides an excellent vantage point. ​Midnight Sun: Being well within the Arctic Circle, the park experiences the Midnight Sun during the summer months, a period of continuous daylight. ​Hiking: The park is the starting point (or end point) for the famous Kungsleden (The King's Trail), a 440-kilometer hiking trail that traverses the Scandinavian mountain range. There are also many shorter, well-maintained trails for day hikes. ​Other Activities: Depending on the season, visitors can enjoy a variety of activities including snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, dog-sledding, and ice fishing. ​Wildlife: The park's fauna includes animals such as reindeer and moose. Smaller herbivores like lemmings are also present. Predators that may be found in the area include golden eagles, brown bears, polar foxes, lynx, and wolverines, though sightings are not guaranteed. The park is also known for its rich birdlife.

Aurora Sky Station

Mentioned on 
3 lists 
Museums
Observatories & Planetariums
Aurora Sky Station, located in Swedish Lapland, is a mountaintop observation center renowned for its spectacular views of the Northern Lights. Accessible via a 20-minute chairlift ride from Abisko National Park, visitors can enjoy guided night tours with the option of savoring Swedish fika or indulging in a four-course meal. In addition to being an ideal spot for witnessing the aurora borealis during winter, it also offers breathtaking vistas and midnight sun sightings during summer months.
Overall, after it was all said and done, we had an amazing experience. But the lead-up to it was pretty stressful and confusing. We only participated in the activity--we didn't stay at the Turistation hotel, so we only had the information we received via email and on the confirmation to go on. There needs to be better instructions on how to get to the Turistation and what to expect on the tour. We thought the only way to get from Abisko Mountain Lodge to the Turistation was to take a taxi, but we learned later that there were other options. Our taxi fell through so we had to WALK-45 minutes in the freezing cold. We were not expecting that. The Google map took us to the train station, not the hotel, so we ended up walking an extra 20 minutes. Getting home was really stressful. I couldn't find a taxi company that would pick us up at 01:30 and had NO IDEA there was a BUS!!! The tour details only say that the tour ends at 01:30. It doesn't say anywhere that you can end the tour whenever you want! We saw options for transportation between 23:30 and midnight but didn't think those would be options for us since the tour wasn't supposed to end until after 01:00. It wasn't clearly stated that we would be given a thermal suit to wear. I figured it out at the last minute but it wasn't clear if there would be storage space for any items we wanted or needed to remove before putting on the suit. I tried emailing STF with my questions but the responses weren't helpful. The transportation bit is key! We were so stressed that we wouldn't be able to get to the meeting point on time and that we might forfeit our tour and the HIGH COST as well. We ended up having to walk back to Abisko town at the end of the tour as well. It was SO COLD and not the easiest walk, even though the path is fairly well lit. The food at the dinner was delicious and we met some nice people sitting at the long table. The sky station is super cozy and warm inside, so it's the ideal place to be able to pop outside to see the lights when/if they happen, and then pop back inside when you get cold. The chair lift experience was quite an adventure, too. We got lucky and saw lights on our night, so that made the entire experience worth it.
Eleven R — Google review
Great experience. Reached there by cable chair lift during mid-summer time, single digit temperature. I can see the beautiful lake; I can feel the snow on the mountain which is melting slowly. Good for hiking, but need professional shoes and maps, paths showing on Google Maps are not precise enough.

Tapiwa Y — Google review
I visited the sky station in December 2021. Sadly, it was cloudy that day. Even after waiting till almost 1 am, I didn't get the chance to see the dancing lights. The sky cleared up for a moment, thus got a glimpse of the green light. The most amazing part of the trip was definitely taking the chairlift through the dark to the top of the mountain. The tour guide showed the way from the STF to the base of the station, where everyone was given a warm overall and a pair of boots. It gets extremely cold while going up the mountain on the open chairlift. The sky station is quite cozy and nicely decorated. There is a cafe inside. The tour included a presentation about aurora. A lifetime experience indeed.
Afroza M — Google review
20 minutes up 900ft to the Café, it's a very peaceful ride, and the view of course is just breathtaking. If you're not going up there to ski, you can relax and watch people weaving through the blanket of snow. The staff are lovely. The Café experience is a little unique. I highly recommend. It's worth the trek 🏔😌
April A — Google review
Nice experience taking chairlift up to the station at Mt Nuolja. Took around 30mins. No sighting of the northern lights though. Kudos to the guide for clear explanation of lights and its myths. We remained at the station and chose not to hike further up due to cold weather (-18c). A good alternative is to go up spiraling case to top of building.

10/10 morning hike at Abisko national park with Lights over Lapland guide Felix! Easy for leisure hikers like me, yet bringing you to amazing viewpoints along the hiking trail. We had a lucky day with great weather which was a bonus. Felix is an experienced/ professional guide who provided loads of good insights on the habitat around us. Managed to capture some spectacular shots too! Would definitely be back here next time!

What an unforgettable experience in Abisko with Lights over Lapland! We joined the 4-night Autumn Abisko Aurora Chase and were impressed from the very start. Despite gloomy skies on our first night, the guides’ dedication was remarkable. We drove nearly an hour east and checked multiple spots to find clear skies. It truly reassured us how committed they were to helping everyone see the northern lights. After that, we had 3 amazing nights with different Aurora shows. A huge thank-you to Sara, who went above and beyond: scouting the best viewing spots, helping with camera setups, keeping us warm, and ensuring we enjoyed every moment. Thanks to her, we witnessed a breathtaking Aurora Corona dancing overhead for over 30 minutes, a moment we’ll never forget (staying out well past the end of the tour!). We also loved the morning hike to Lake Torneträsk and the delta with Felix, a 2-hour walk surrounded by breathtaking autumn views. It was both relaxing and enriching. Overall, Lights over Lapland made this an exceptional experience. You might think you can chase the lights on your own, but having expert guides who understand the terrain, weather, and microclimates makes all the difference. Truly the best decision of our trip - highly recommended!

What an absolutely amazing experience! Lights Over Lapland put together a tour package that was incredible. Four nights at the Abisko STF, winter coveralls, cameras, tripods, a guided hike in the Abisko National Park, and a guided chase of Northern Lights each night. Luckily we caught them in all their glory 2 nights and partially 1 night. Our communication with Jeanette and Rachel before and during our trip was excellent. They answered all of our questions promptly and I had many. Our nightly guide, Felix, was so knowledgeable and personable. We really enjoyed his company. Gavin, who led another group, was happy to help with our camera equipment and answer any questions. Sara, a laid back world traveler, took us on a very memorable hike. Her passion for the outdoors was evident. We thank you all for making this bucket list trip one we will always remember fondly.

Felix was our Northern Lights guide — professional, friendly, and passionate. He patiently helped us set up our cameras and shared fascinating knowledge about the aurora. On the last day, it rained in Abisko, but he drove us away from the clouds in search of clear skies. Sara was our hiking guide and led us along a stunning trail where we enjoyed breathtaking lake reflections. She’s also an excellent photographer!

Amazing stay, based at the Tourist Station in the Abisko National Park. Brilliant service by Lights over Lapland with all enquiries, prior and post booking, answered promptly & efficiently by email and use of the app. Info about what to bring, activities & travel arrangements was exceedingly helpful. Wonderful morning hike from the Tourist Station, led by Felix, who shared lots of info about the wildlife, nature, landscape and seasons at Abisko. The highlight for me was being at the river delta with the sunshine bringing out amazing Autumn colours, and walking across the river to the waters edge of the lake. For 4 nights of the Abisko Autumn Aurora Chase, we were EXCEEDINGLY well looked after by Sara, with prebooked cameras, tripods, backpacks, headtorches & overalls all provided with fabulous instruction & constant support while out at night, and her knowledge of local locations resulted in seeing the aurora AND getting great pics for 3 out of 4 nights. Couldn't fault anything!! Thanks to Sara, Felix and all at Lights Over Lapland who worked so hard for us <3

We enjoyed our Abisko National Park Scenic Morning Hike with our wonderful guide Gavin so much so that we decided to book the Autumn Abisko Aurora Chase the same night to continue exploring what Abisko has to offer with Gavin and the LoL team and guests! It was a really beautiful and educational hike, and Gavin was really lovely, knowledgeable, kind and patient throughout. Having a photography background, Gavin was also able to bring us to great spots for beautiful photos! We also even tried out walking on a frozen part of the lake! The Northern Lights chase at night was exciting and we’re so glad we managed to catch the northern lights (our first time ever!) with the expertise, strategic planning, and patience of Gavin and Miquel (and with a bit of luck given the weather). We also enjoyed some snacks and warm lingonberry juice over fire to end the magical night. Thanks Gavin, Miquel and the team at LoL for such magical experience!

The Autumn Abisko Aurora Chase was a fantastic experience! A big shoutout to our guide Sara Brockmann. She was amazing. Super friendly, and very knowledgeable about history, lifestyle and nature of the region. She helped us with camera settings to make sure we got those stunning photos of the northern lights, which was awesome. We saw the lights at the first try right on the shore of Torneträsk lake, surrounded by incredible scenery. After the chase, we all sat around a cozy fire, and she brought out gingerbread cookies and hot lingonberry juice, perfect after a cold night! On our way back to Abisko, we stopped for one last peek at the sky from the Abisko Turiststation a truly magical view. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking for a fun, a marvelous experience with an awesome guide!

We had an amazing time joining the Lights over Lapland AB autumn aurora-chasing tour. In particular, our guide Sara Brockmann was truly responsible and trustworthy. She led us to a perfect lakeside spot where we witnessed multiple displays of the northern lights. Even more special, I proposed to my girlfriend there. Sara thoughtfully took photos for us — and, of course, she took great photos for everyone, not just us. She also prepared a cozy campfire, warm lingonberry juice, and gingerbread cookies to keep us warm. All in all, thanks to Sara’s help, we had an absolutely wonderful night. Finally, we wish everyone traveling to Abisko to see the aurora good weather and clear skies!

Lappland Media & Photo Adventures - Northern Lights Holidays in Abisko and Lapland

Tour operator
Tours
Lappland Media & Photo Adventures offers an unforgettable experience in Abisko, a remote region 200 kilometers above the Arctic Circle with only 100 residents. This destination is renowned for its spectacular Northern Lights viewing and rich Swedish Lapland culture. The tour is perfect for wanderlust travelers and aspiring photographers seeking to capture the beauty of the aurora.
Took a 4 Day Photography Tour with Peter to try and see the northern lights and ended up getting so much more. Peter is an expert in his field, and a person who offers his knowledge and shares the most wonderful places to take Northern Light Photos. He knows how to read the weather to decide where to go, to get the best chance of spotting Auroras, which led us to being very lucky and seeing them 3/4 nights. But even if the lights wouldn't dance, the program of the tour was wonderful. The Abisko Valley and Kiruna offer gorgeous views, wildlife spotting opportunities and the ice hotel felt like the visit to a museum sprinkled in between. Not once did we get a boring minute, from trying to find a hormonal capercaillie, to distinguishing ptarmigan from snowballs, riding a dog sleigh over a frozen river and having fika in the middle of a lake or being awestruck by mountain reflections in a Norwegian fjord. This tour left me wanting for nothing but a bit more time to soak it all in. Highly recommend. If you want to see and photograph Lapland, this is your guy.

Peter was a wonderful guide: knowledgeable, patient, flexible, creative and friendly are some of the adjectives that come to mind. With a background in science and photography, he has a wealth of experience and knowledge, both basic and esoteric, such that he is able to explain and expound upon the things we saw and experienced in a way that people with all levels of knowledge and sophistication can understand and learn. On our late February/early March trip we saw the Aurora Borealis from several perspectives and came to well understand the variables that influence what the eye and the camera see. We saw many moose, some reindeer, ptarmigan, and even spotted a red fox. Beyond the Aurora, the snowmobiling and dogsledding were highlights (thanks Irina at Outback Abisko and Leah at Kiruna Dogsled!). We enjoyed a visit to the IceHotel where Peter explained the engineering and artistry that go into constructing the hotel every year. During a day's excursion to Norway to take in some of the fjords, we learned about the Sami people, their culture and history. We felt well cared-for at every step and would highly recommend Peter/LapplandMedia to anyone considering a visit to that part of the world.

I've just come back from a 6 day tour with Peter Rosen and it was seriously an awesome trip filled with ticking off many bucket list items. We went dog sledding, reindeer sledding, saw the aurora lights, ice hotel and more! Peter is also very well known in the places we visited and you could tell from the way people treated our group. I'm also into photography and Peter gave our group of six people a camera each and also had some serious lenses and camera bodies in his kit for those that wanted it. Even though I've been into photography for over a decade, I still learnt a lot from Peter who is a professional photographer. But if you're not confident in photography but still interested, he's also a good teacher and very patient. For the photographers out there he had wide lenses for landscape pics and tele-lenses for animals. Overall, I'm really happy with the photos I took on the tour because of Peter's help! He was also a biologist previously, so he's very knowledgable and passionate about the animals and nature. Very educational! We were also introduced to the indigenous Sami people which I knew very little of before but was an enlightening experience hearing their history. The different accomodation we had was also very good and had no problems with it. Also while dog sledding at night, I accidentally forgot to zip my jacket pocket and my phone had fallen out without me noticing until we arrived back at camp around midnight. I was distraught but Peter took me along the path on his ski mobile and we searched much of the night for it. We didn't find my phone in the end but I'm still appreciative of Peter after a long day that he would help me out still. Highly recommend this trip to anyone thinking about it and wish to be more out there with nature. Peter is a great tour guide and we still keep in touch even now we're home.

If you have ever wanted to see the Northern Lights and want the chance to see them in a breath-taking and awe-inspiring place then book with Peter and his team and visit this stunning part of Sweden. Practical things like advice on clothing to bring and what will be provided plus info about camera kit all sorted in advance. Dietary requirements sorted without fuss and food was superb (I asked for a vegan menu). Nothing is too much trouble. Activities are fantastic - dog sledding, reindeer sledding, watching moose in the wild, visiting the Ice Hotel and just being in the landscape. I left part of my heart in Sweden - I expected to be emotional when I saw the aurora but the place touched my soul with its quiet beauty, its lovely and graceful people and winter in all of its glory. I loved it. Can’t wait to go back!

This photography tour with Peter was absolutely amazing. As an amateur I had heaps of help and got some fantastic photos at the most beautiful locations. I can't recommend Peter's tours highly enough. Well worth travelling half way round the world to experience this and I would do it again in a heartbeat. And you will see the northern lights - Peter has had 100% success rate on his tours as he is a local so knows how to chase them. Book up now - you won't regret it. Jackie Australia

A must for wanderlust travellers and aspiring photographers. We had an amazing time with Peter who is such a sincere and modest person. Chasing the aurora can be challenging, but finding the best spots for a beautiful composition is what makes this tour special and unique. Be aware that this is a photography oriented tour. Our goal was to learn a bit more about shooting at night and Peter, who is a knowledgeable photographer, took every bit of time to show us some tips & tricks in post processing. Apart from that Peter went out of his way to accommodate all of his guests wishes, as there were some with a lesser interest in photography and more for massages and spa's. Even then Peter managed to organise a full packed itinerary and keep everyone happy. Biggest highlight for us was being out with the dogs all morning and even a full evening. Some of our best photos were with the sled dogs in the composition. Things feel more authentic and less touristy when your enjoying hot tea in a tipi with a fireplace. We left with great experiences and new friends and would recommend this tour to our family and friends. Thanks again Peter!

Peter was a gun from the very beginning. We spent 6 days together on a private tour with the family. Peter was so personable and patient. He was very flexible and passionate about what he does - and it definitely showed! We were generously provided with professional cameras and lots of cool lenses to use on our daily activities. Even if there wasn't an aurora to chase that night, there was always something else to do. My highlight would have been the private dog-sledding tours that we did during the day and again at night. So unique and priceless! Having Peter lead us around these 6 days, you could really see the rapport and support he had from the local community and businesses - they all knew who he was and would treat us well because of him! Peter was always patient in explaining how to use the camera, and also the theories behind the auroras. So knowledgeable! I have learned so much and done so many things that I would never have done if it weren't for this tour! Unforgettable and priceless experience. Thank you Peter!!

I highly recommend Peter of Lappland Media and appreciated all his efforts in helping myself and my family have an unforgettable holiday. In fact, I have already started recommending Peter by word of mouth back home and I share the same to you as well if you are currently reading this and considering taking one of his tours! Prior to joining Peter's tour, I had no photography experience and am generally a slow moving traveller. I had never imagined seeing any auroras or being able to travel to such a northern part of the world (as I usually don't adapt well to cold climates coming from the Southern Hemisphere). Peter really accommodated for me personally and made this tour an adventure I will never forget. One of the best characteristics of having Peter as a tour guide is his attention to detail. Aside from his incredible skills as a photographer and his vast wealth of knowledge in almost everything related to the things/activities you see and do, he was so accommodating in all the little things throughout the tour. Examples of this include: the cold weather clothing and gear he provided (which saved me from catching a cold!), the quality of accommodation and food vendors he partners with, the drinks he offers, casual conversations over meals, even down to sourcing a hairdryer for us at one of the accommodation spots. Peter is also very adaptable and patient. He attempts to accommodate for every member in his tour group, regardless of your travel style and/or interests. I appreciated the fact that Peter was very patient with me when I would ask him the same basic photography related question at least 5 times. He would also offer other activities that were not included in the regular program to accommodate for individual interests. Something that surprised me was that I enjoyed using the telephoto lens and taking photos of moose. I also thoroughly enjoyed reindeer and dog sledding, as well as the conversations I would have with the locals in the lavvus at various stops in the tour. Ultimately, we were able to see an Aurora on more than one occasion and that was pretty amazing. Every few hours each day, I observed Peter keeping an eye on the relevant data to ensure he would be able to help our group catch the best Aurora that night. He would always have all his photography equipment ready to go and a few hot drinks on the side. He was always many steps ahead and ready to chase the Aurora. Thankyou Peter for a once in a lifetime great experience!

Our guide Marcus was excellent, he gaged the ability of the group and adjusted the tour accordingly meaning we all had an excellent time. It was amazingly beautiful and pretty chilly but we got to stop for a warm drink and snack. I would absolutely recommend booking a snowmobiling trip!

Just had a great snowmobile tour with guide Fábio from "Activities in Abisko". Although he is not Swedische but Portugese, he was very knowligable about many things in the national park. But had also many other fun facts for us. I'd really recommend this company and guide.

I just had a blast joining the Snowshoe activity with Anna and Ben. These two created a really nice atmosphere, patiently helped us with the snowshoes and showed us a very nice spot for walking including a breathtaking view and a detour on a frozen lake. The icing on the cake was that we even saw the Northern Lights on our afternoon walk. Definitely something, you should try out.

★★★★★ What an incredible experience! The snowmobile tour was absolutely fantastic—breathtaking views, a thrilling ride, and an all-around unforgettable adventure. Our guide, Fabio, made it even better. Super chill, great to talk with, and full of interesting stories. He made sure we had the best time while keeping everything smooth and enjoyable. Hands down, the best experience ever! We’ll definitely be back and hope to ride with Fabio again :)

On December 22, 2024, I went on a snowmobile tour and was very excited! After being kitted out with the necessary winter clothing and a clear technical briefing on the vehicle, we set off. We were only a very small group, which made the whole experience very enjoyable because the guide was able to respond well to our needs. The tour went at a leisurely pace over hills and smaller mountains to beautiful viewpoints nearby. Which was just about all we could manage due to the pace and the already quite dusky time of day (the tour started at 2 pm). I really enjoyed the experience! All the information we received about the landscape and the snowmobiling itself was just great. Thanks to the young man in the photo (unfortunately I can't remember his name 😞) for a great experience!

We booked the morning skidoo tour. It was unique and amazing. We were only a group of four. Anna was our tour guide. She was super friendly and our tour was around 3-4 hours. From the morning light to the sunset and a bit in the dark. We were all super excited. Anna did a great job showing us the beauty of the wildness of her home Sweden. And we could meet her friendly dog Scout and his friends. <3 What a day it was. :-)

Abisko Adventure offers a small group tour with a maximum of 6 people, providing the opportunity to climb the ice wall multiple times. Additionally, between the end of February and middle of March, visitors can also climb the waterfall in Abisko Canyon. The experience is suitable for both beginners and those with previous climbing experience. The guide, Aril, is highly praised for being friendly and ensuring everyone feels safe throughout the adventure.
We did the ice climbing with our two teenagers. Anna was our guide and was so delightful! She really took care of us and motivated us to try our hardest to get up the waterfall. We left feeling very accomplished and respectful of those that participate in the sport. Very happy to have done this adventure!

We had a wonderful experience with Abisko Adventures! Aril arranged everything and our guide Alex was sensational. We had a truly incredible time with Alex both at night, chasing and finding sensational sightings of the Aurora, and during the day, exploring the Norwegian fjords. He put his whole heart into it, and found the northern lights in five different locations despite snow and rain. He is incredibly knowledgeable and knows every corner of Abisko. Great company and great people! Highly recommended.

We had a great day ice climbing a waterfall with Anna. She kept us safe, the views were incredible, & ice climbing was challenging but fun. We have very little experience climbing, especially in snow, and managed to climb a decent bit. It is physically demanding, so be prepared for a workout. Please also note we went to a harder location (the canyon) than most groups, but with better views. We definitely would take a trip with Anna again!

We did the morning snow shoe experience with Aril. We had a fantastic morning. Aril was so fun, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He set the pace according to our group’s ability and we made it to a local viewpoint. All the while he pointed out animal tracks, bushcraft techniques, geographical features, historical and modern land uses. I would highly recommend this tour for an introduction to being out in the Abisko wilderness.

Ice climbing was not only fun but exciting for a first-timer like me! The instructor, Anna, was not only patient but also very clear with her instructions. She was very kind to let me use her extra pair of gloves when mine got wet. I was fortunate to be in an all-female small group and Anna was very encouraging towards everyone with each climb we did. I would highly recommend!!!

We stayed for 2 nights and the staff was very kind and flexible for check in due to last minute delay of our arrival. Conveniently located near train station and there is nearby bus stop. Rooms were clean and were comfortable for 2 nights if you need place to sleep. They have limited rooms on first floor with nice common kitchen with all utilities with good ambience. Bathrooms were clean but need a little renovation. Given cost of room it’s provides you all facilities that one need in hotel. I totally recommend to visit the Samer museum in basement which is free for hotel guests. Airport bus stop is 10-15 min walking distance and also the restaurant and supermarket.

Positiv: The room was clean, quiet and had everything what you need. The Location was perfect to reach the airportbus. Negativ: at the end of my stay, they charged me a different (higher) price! As I noticed afterwards, that I had payed too much, I got back to them via E-Mail (obviously I wasn't in the country anymore) and showed them all the old emails of the booking process and what price we discussed back then. Long story short, until this day I didn't got the money back. They refuse to answer my Emails. I wouldn't book it again in the fututure because of this incident!

Home of a Sami Musuem, generally lower prices than other hotels in Kiruna, friendly staff took care of our bag while we went away for a 8 day hike (we stayed the night before and after the hike at the hotel), simple breakfast on weekdays. Just note that location is a slight walk to old town center but it is near to the very excellent Stejk Street Food and airport bus stop. Also note that there is no manned staff after 3pm and on weekends but check in is arranged in advance. If you don't see the staff, you need to pay cash or make advance payment through transfer. Just a small inconvenience on this part. Be sure to visit the Sami Museum.

This hostel is really clean ! We didn't see the personnel until our Last day because we were there on the week end. Really close to the train station. You have a supermarket 30 mn walk and others little shops closing earlier (4pm) and a bit more expensive. The outside is old but you are sleeping inside and all is good and again : really and perfectly clean ! We had a room with bathroom ! You have a kitchen with a fridge to Cook ! The museum is tiny but cool (but close on week end like the breakfast). We payed less price because we were on week end. Close to the city and the Luossavaara Mountain.

A great value hotel just a 10 minute walk from the shopping centre of Kiruna and the bus station. Very nicely maintained with kitchen facilities for self catering and a lovely breakfast supplied from 6-9am. Good for hiking the Kungsleden with buses going to/from Abisko and Nikkaluokta. Although staff are available Monday to Friday they are also contactable by phone on weekends. Well use the Hotel Samegarden again when we go back to Kiruna. Thanks!

Hiking Trails
Midnattssolstigen is a nature trail in Kiruna that offers breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views, making it suitable for beginners. It's advisable to dress warmly and wear sturdy hiking shoes while carrying water. The stunning views from the top are best experienced during the late evening in July, allowing visitors to witness the last sunset from the mountain peak. Despite some challenges like windy conditions and snow-covered paths in winter, this trail is a must-see during summer.
Walked this trail on the very first night of my stay in Kiruna. The weather conditions were perfect with a bit of wind but super sunny and 2 degrees. The views on this trail are absolutely breathtaking. If you go to Kiruna in summer this trail is a must-see. I loved it so much that I walked the trail two nights in a row around midnight. 😍

Breathe taking views with 360degree Panoramic views. The trail is suitable for begineers who would love to experience the nature trail. Would suggest to pack good clothing as its super windy up there on top. A good hiking shoes, bottle of water is a must to carry on this trail. The views from the top is just stunning. Do hike up in the late evening during the month of July to experience the last sunset from the top of the mountain. I would definately would love to come here and check out the winter ski. Watching out the Aurora would be cool I guess too. Can't wait to visit this place again in different season.

Nice hike, but the sun was obstructed by a mountain at midnight on June 15th. I recommend going to a higher vantage point if you want a guarantee of seeing the actual sun. We did say a family of arctic hares on the hike though (:
