Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Kiruna: Mine & Ice Hotel & City Tour & Northern Lights In A Forest Cottage
Location: Kiruna
Kiruna is the biggest city in Swedish Lapland (also it was regarded as the largest city municipality in the world. The area is rich in natural resources, it has one of the world’s largest iron mine, magnificent mountains and forests. It’s a special city which combines science and nature!
In the first day, we will visit Kiruna mine, the largest and most modern underground iron ore mine in the world. We will also visit an Ice Hotel and after being stunned by it´s architecture, we will head out for a Lappish traditional grilled salmon lunch by a campfire. Then we will go on a city tour! We will visit Kyrka Church and the most iconic places around the city. You will then have some time on your own to go for dinner (don´t forget to ask the guide for his/her recommendations!), and once you are full, we will go on a Northern lights hunt! After this complete and exhausting day, we will take you to your accommodation, a forest cottage, to enjoy a well deserved rest.Â
Day 2 : Abisko: Ice Waterfalls & Husky Sleigh Ride & Aurora Sky Station
Location: Abisko
Today we will continue the trip to the city of Abisko, a beautiful town in a breathtaking landscape in north Sweden. Abisko is one of the best places to see the Northern lights, and because it is surrounded by mountains, the temperature is usually warmer than other places.
Abisko is also home to the largest ice waterfalls in Lapland, which we of course will visit! We will then fill our bellies with salmon cooked in a traditional Lappish barbecue in the snow! With renewed energies, we will take part in a husky sleigh race. Join a friendly, hairy team of dogs through a 10 km ride in one of the most beautiful natural landscapes you can find. In the evening, we will visit the Aurora Sky Station, one of the best high points from where you can see Northern lights! Â
Day 3 : Abisko: Downhill Ski
Location: Kiruna
We will spend the last day with a fun experience of downhill ski! There will be free to use ski equipment available. Afterwards, we will transfer you back to Kiruna or Rovaniemi, It’s here we end the trip and say goodbye.Â

When to travel to Lapland?
There are four distinctly different seasons as far up north as Rovaniemi. However, locals think the conditions are in a constant state of change and say there are up to eight seasons in the year: midwinter, snowy spring, spring, summer, harvest season, autumn leaf colour, first snowfall, and Christmas. Please bear in mind that there is annual fluctuation in weather. Lapland is in the continental climate zone. The winters are cold and rich in snow, but thanks to the Gulf Stream, the summers are relatively warm. Rovaniemi is part of the arctic region; its climate, however, is subarctic and temperate, characterised by strong seasonal contrasts of dark versus bright and cold versus warm.

Summer in Lapland
The Midnight Sun and white nights in June and July The Midnight Sun period officially lasts from early June until early July, but nights are white throughout the summer in Rovaniemi. The summer in Lapland can offer an interesting variety of weather conditions, with a longer warm spell expected in July. The warmest time of year brings people out in masses, and various events take place in summery Rovaniemi. Prepare to celebrate until the wee hours, as the sun never goes down. There are plenty of things to do in Rovaniemi in the summer, and with 24 hours of light, there’s no limits to time of action.
-
Spring in Lapland
The snow melts, the ice breaks and nature is reborn in April and May April is still considered a snowy month in Rovaniemi and Lapland, but the snow gradually disappears as May approaches. The ice on rivers and lakes starts melting, and big chunks of ice can be seen flowing downstream. In early April, the last of the Northern Lights displays can be seen. Towards the end of April, nights are too light for the Auroras to be spotted. In May, northern nature starts getting ready to blossom once again after a harsh winter. At the end of May, nights are white. In Rovaniemi, winter activities still run in early April, after which it’s time for non-snow stuff.
-
Winter in Lapland
Christmas, the Polar Night and snowy spring from December to March December and January are snowy months shrouded in the darkness of the Polar Night. The sun comes out in February and marks the start of the snowy, light-filled spring. March is often terrific for Northern Lights viewing. In Rovaniemi, the Official Hometown of Santa Claus, Christmas is a special time, as many flock to the arctic town to meet Santa in person and experience the festive season in magical wintery surroundings. The winter is a great time for a number of activities both in the snow outside and experiencing local culture inside.
-
Autumn in Lapland
First Auroras and first snowfall from August to November Early August is still considered summer by many, but by the end of the month, it’s definitely autumn. The Northern Lights start appearing in late August, and September and October are ideal Aurora viewing months. Temperatures start dropping below zero in October, and first snow usually falls at around the same time period. A permanent snow cover is expected in late November. Autumn leaf colour paints the landscapes in earthy shades, and days are perfect for hiking and other nature related activities, as nights are best reserved for Aurora spotting.
