Tips from KirunA<br />

On a tour to Trollsjön.<br />

Go on a tour<br />

Go on a tour by boat, on foot or, why not, by dog<br />

sled – yes, even in summer. Hike in our nice mountain<br />

environment to places like Trollsjön, Rommbakk,<br />

Låktatjåkko or Treriksröset, or climb to the<br />

top of Sweden’s highest mountain, Kebnekaise. And,<br />

don’t miss a tour in the light of the midnight sun –<br />

simply magical.<br />

Culture enriches<br />

There’s so much cultural inspiration in Kiruna<br />

<strong>Lapland</strong>. Meet our indigenous population, the<br />

Samis, and learn about pioneers and settlers who<br />

came here from near and far to mine the ore and<br />

build the town. Enjoy the rich culture of the countryside<br />

in its villages with history dating back many<br />

hundreds of years.<br />

How about<br />

a bit of adrenaline?<br />

Butterflies in the stomach when you do something<br />

out of the ordinary is great. In Kiruna <strong>Lapland</strong> you<br />

don’t always have to be an extreme adventurer to<br />

manage a more daring activity. Cave tours, whitewater<br />

rafting, climbing and mountain bike tours<br />

in the wilderness can be undertaken with skilful<br />

guides who will make sure you are safe and get the<br />

most out of the adventure.<br />

Midnight Sun<br />

During the period May 30 to July 14, you can see<br />

the sun abovehorizon, if it is not cloudy, of course.<br />

From the beginning of May to the beginning<br />

August the nights are bright.<br />

Fishing for young and old<br />

Fishing attracts many people, whatever their age.<br />

And often it’s not primarily about the catch but<br />

the nature experience. In Kiruna <strong>Lapland</strong>, you can<br />

choose from exclusive tours with guides to fishing<br />

camps in unspoilt nature or hiring tackle and making<br />

your own trip into the surrounding area.<br />

There are more<br />

suggestions for<br />

activities and tours to book<br />

here in the <strong>Guide</strong> and on our<br />

homepage:<br />
