What you can expect

Immerse yourself in the Arctic's serene night with our Kiruna Husky Northern Lights Snowshoe Hike

While you hike through the serene arctic night you’ll have the opportunity to see the Northern Lights undisturbed by civilization. With a bit of luck you will be covered in magic when the Aurora Borealis is dancing in the Sky above. On this evening tour you will get a full polar night experience until April comes with it`s long and bright days. Bring your camera for an opportunity for some once in a lifetime photos. It is advised to check aurora forecasts, such as Aurora Reach to check the possibility.
If we are not lucky with the Northern light we still have plenty to do. During your exploration, you’ll hike across a lake and a peaceful forest, all while keeping an eye out for the local wildlife. With some luck, you might spot reindeer, moose, Arctic hares, or even “Ripa,” Kiruna’s official bird. Surely, we will find and identify their tracks in the snow.
The Snowshoes we provide will help you traverse the deep snow by spreading your weight so you do not sink. On the hike, your Guide will tell you about nature and wildlife in the Swedish Tundra. We keep an eye out for animal tracks and trails to identify. You will learn how to find dry firewood in the snow-covered forest, to make a warming fire and grill marshmallows.
Our package includes hassle-free transfers to and from Kiruna Town, along with the essential winter gear, such as winter overalls, boots, mittens, and hats. The adventure concludes with a delightful Fika session around an open fire.
We recommend dressing warmly with a balaclava or scarf and layering up for comfort. For those with glasses, consider contact lenses.

Your adventure begins with a pickup from Kiruna town's central area, followed by a journey to our welcoming home in Kalixforsbron. Here, you'll be outfitted in cozy winter attire.

Upon your return to our base, you'll have the chance to warm up around an open fire in our traditional Nordic tipi, savoring a delightful session of Swedish Fika, Finally, we'll ensure a comfortable ride back to Kiruna Town, leaving you with cherished memories of your snowshoe adventure, whether or not the Northern Lights decide to make an appearance.
