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. In autumn the air gets high and nature is painted in dramatic colors. During the autumn, there is also a great chance to experience the most beautiful and strongest northern lights.

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. The reason is that land deformations due to the mining affect the city, which means that parts of Kiruna must be rebuilt on new land. The city transformation is now in an operational phase and the new city center will be inaugurated in late 2022.
