During the trip, you will enjoy the stunning views of Abisko Village, Lake Torneträsk, and Lapporten. We’ll visit the impressive Abisko Canyon and admire the Silver Waterfall, which transforms into a frozen spectacle during the winter months.
You’ll be taken to off-trail places that most visitors never get to see. At the viewpoint, we’ll pause to enjoy traditional Swedish cookies and hot drinks while taking in the quiet beauty of the Arctic morning. This is the perfect tour to experience the magic of Swedish Lapland.

You’ll also learn a few tips and tricks to help recognize tracks and other signs of wildlife during the walk.
After the tour, we’ll drive back to Kiruna along Lake Torneträsk, Kaisepakte, and the scenic Arctic Road, a beautiful route that offers one last look at the winter landscape before returning to Kiruna.
