Welcome to Sweden

Kiruna is a town in the far north of Swedish Lapland. It’s known for the huge LKAB iron ore mine and its underground visitors center with an exhibit on mining.

Kiruna Church is notable for its bell tower and resemblance to the traditional huts of the indigenous Sámi people.

After resting up a bit, spend some free time exploring the town. Then in the evening, bundle up for a guided snowmobile excursion out into the wild for a chance to see the northern lights glowing in the sky. Enjoy a rustic dinner of traditional local food in a wooden hut around a fireplace before your guide takes you back to Kiruna. Please note that 2 people will share one snowmobile and take turns driving. To drive, you must have a valid driver’s license.

In the early evening, you will ride in a minibus to Abisko, about 100 km (60 miles) from Kiruna, for an unforgettable evening of natural beauty and gourmet cuisine.

At the restaurant, indulge in a delicious, Nordic-inspired 3-course dinner, followed by a guided tour to learn about the spectacular northern lights and how to see them.
