This website is produced by Swedish Lapland Visitors It’s always good to pre-book activities to secure a place. But my tip is that you make some room during your trip for spontaneous things. An example is to visit the shoemaker Skomakeri Ivarsdotter or Kiruna Bookshop. You can also visit one of our cozy cafés in Kiruna — my favorite spot is Bjöhrns. Mostly because they’ve got a snowmobile in the ceiling. And because many locals stop for Swedish Fika here = a great chance to ask about the city move.

Abisko National Park in Swedish Lapland offers perhaps some of the best conditions in the world for Northern Lights. The surrounding mountains keep the skies almost clear and the light pollution is next to nothing. No wonder Lonely Planet dubbed Abisko the world’s most illuminating experience of 2015.

Since 1605, for over 400 years, Jokkmokk’s wonderful Winter Market has been held annually beginning on the first Thursday in February. Attracting tens of thousands of visitors from around the world, the market remains the foremost meeting place for Sámi peoples across the entire Sápmi region.

It was with some trepidation that I joined my first snowmobile tour into what looked like a frozen alien landscape. A place where no sensible person should tread. Sounds dangerous? Let me explain, I am a sailor. Happiest with a full main and perfectly trimmed genoa and standing on a heaving timber deck. Preferably somewhere tropical.

King’s Trail or Kungsleden, is Sweden’s longest and most famous trail and mostly frequented during summer. But it’s an equally exciting adventure by skis during winter. Göran Wallin, keen outdoor enthusiasts, gives us the insides to this great trail through the mountains of Swedish Lapland.
