Abisko: Sami-Inspired Aurora BBQ with Aurora Chasing Abisko: Sami inspired Aurora BBQ with Aurora chasing

Join us for an unforgettable night of local delights and hopefully stunning auroras.
We start in our BBQ hut below Abisko Guesthouse, with a beautiful view of Lake Torne träsk and there we BBQ a local Sami meat called 'souvas' with vegetables. The dinner will be cooked in a very large dish in the center of the room over an open fire, in the traditional Sami way. Souvas is made from lightly smoked reindeer meat and is delicious. While the main dish is cooking we will sample some other traditional reindeer meat products.

While the food is being cooked, the guide tells stories about the Swedish Sami people and the history of the region. With the fire in front of us and the quiet environment around us, it is a very appreciated dinner for our guests.

While the food is cooking we can sit inside the warm BBQ house while keeping an eye on the sky in case the auroras should appear.

Once we are happy and full, we take the minibuses out to find a great spot for seeing and photographing the aurora. We stop as soon as we see it and always have plenty of time for taking photos. Our guides can help you get a good shot, on your camera. Our best tip is to be patient, it can take time before the northern lights appear.

Vegetarian options are available, and most special diets can be accommodated. You however must let us know at least 24h before the start of the tour if you have any special diets.
