Find your adventure

In Kiruna, there are Arctic experiences all year round. Here you will find exciting adventures during the winter months that offer dancing northern lights and summer months with endless sunlight.

Arctic experiences year round

A summer with endless days, a colourful autumn, a winter with powder-thick snow or the warmth of the spring sun?

Summer/Autumn

From midnight sun to northern lights. With endless days, it is easy to be attracted to late nights and excursions during all hours of the day.

City transformation

The urban transformation in Kiruna is receiving attention both in Sweden and internationally - it is the most radical, urban relocation project that has ever been carried out.
