This is a guided Arctic experience led by someone born and raised in Kiruna, offering a genuine local perspective of the surrounding wilderness. My lifelong connection to the area allows us to explore quiet forests and open landscapes away from crowded tourist routes. The pace and route are adapted to the weather, snow conditions, and your comfort level on the day, creating a flexible and natural experience in the Arctic environment. This is a slow and authentic experience focused on silence, nature, and real local knowledge—an alternative to mass tourism and standard group excursions.

A family friendly tour where even your smallest adventurers can tag along. You will be taken on a minivan ride through the beautiful lansdscapes of Swedish Lapland 100 km from Kiruna to Abisko National Park. Under this tour you will be able to experience the mighty mountains, the breathtaking Abisko Canyon and the bewitching Silver fall in Björkliden. Before you go back to Kiruna your guide will seve a tasty local dinner.

Do you dream of joining a real musher for a once in a lifetime Arctic Experience? Are all the dog sledding tours in Abisko fully booked during your time in Abisko? Don’t worry – Lights Over Lapland is here to help! Before Covid arrived Abisko was blessed with several dog sledding companies, which offered our guests lots of choice and availability. Sadly, Covid led to the loss of 50% of the dog sledding capacity in Abisko so now there is only one provider in the National Park who offers dog sledding adventures. They are a fantastic company, with incredible dog sledding trips in Abisko, but unfortunately for our guests they are usually fully booked months in advance. This makes it very difficult to find availability for our guests on the ground in Abisko. With this in mind, Lights Over Lapland, and our friends at Kiruna Dogsled have an exciting dog sledding adventure in the beautiful village of Oinakka – just outside of Kiruna, near the world’s original Icehotel.

Experience the Northern Lights in Iceland in style, with an evening snowmobile tour and tipi dinner. Heading to the top of Mt. Ednavaara, you’ll have your best chance of seeing the Northern Lights, with the stars and snow around you. Dinner, cooked on a crackling fire and served up in a tipi, is sure to be a highlight of the experience.

This is not a standard tourist tour — it’s a private Arctic experience guided by someone who was born and raised in Kiruna. My lifelong connection to the area allows me to take you beyond marked trails and crowded areas, into quiet forests and open landscapes that many visitors never see. Unlike larger group excursions, this experience is exclusively for your group. That means no strangers, no fixed scripts, and no rushed schedules. The route, pace, and distance are fully adapted to you, the weather, and the snow conditions on that particular day. The combination of snowshoeing with a traditional wood-fired sauna ritual makes this experience truly unique. After moving through the cold Arctic air, you’ll warm up in a private sauna and take part in a guided Nordic ritual — a cultural tradition that connects nature, body, and mind. This is a slow, authentic alternative to mass tourism — focused on silence, nature, personal connection, and genuine local knowledge.
