Activity description

Join an exciting snowshoeing excursion through the Swedish wilderness from Kiruna. Welcoming participants from ages 12 and up on this family-friendly adventure!

Kiruna is a town located in the far north of Sweden, right beside the Arctic Circle and on the border of both Norway and Finland. It is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts who want to discover the beauty that the Lapland region has to offer. During the winter, the stunning landscapes, forests and mountains transform into a white wonderland!

This tour starts with pick up from listed accommodations in Kiruna (please specify when booking). You have the option of two different snowshoeing excursions from Kiruna to accommodate all adventurers. The experienced guide will greet you and go through the itinerary for the day. After receiving your equipment (snowshoes, poles, and a headlamp if needed), you will set off on your adventure!

For those looking for a wholesome family hike, opt for the 2.5-hour snowshoeing tour through the forest. During this hike, you will follow animal paths, and learn all about how to survive in the Arctic. Your guide will also share with you the culture up in the top parts of Sweden, for an informative and fun excursion through the snow.   

For those who wish for a more physically demanding trail, select the 2.5-hour trail up a mountain. The aim of this excursion is to get above the tree line in order to access views of Swedish nature. From this viewpoint, you'll be able to see the changing light of the Arctic, from the "Kaamos" blue right to the orange sunsets. For both excursions, a hot berry juice will be served midway while you take in the peace and stillness of the area. You will then return to your pick-up point in Kiruna.

Don't miss this exciting snowshoe trail through the winter wonderland of Swedish Lapland from Kiruna!

We had a wonderful time snowshoeing with Anders. He was very accomodating and friendly. Anders knowledge of the area and spotting animal tracks was amazing! We were even lucky enough that we got a rare glimpse of a moose! Highly recommend this activity!

Interesting excursion in the Kiruna countryside with Anders that shares his deep knowledge.

  • 5 / 5

Très instructive, cette balade nous a beaucoup appris sur la faune et la flore de la région. Anders est très pédagogique et c'est un vrai plus d'avoir un guide aussi passionné pour faire sa promenade en raquettes. Arrivé en haut de la montagne, nous avons même pu profiter d'une pause fika. Sans doute une des meilleures activités à faire à Kiruna. Nous recommandons à tous les passionnés de nature et de randonnée.

The northern lights snowshoe adventure was very enjoyable and very easy. We were fortunate enough to see the Aurora on the tour.

Une ballade très sympa au milieu de la nature, Anders nous a beaucoup appris tout au long de l’activité ( reconnaissance des empruntes dans la neige, explication sur les sommets avoisinants...) Une très belle apres midi !

  • 5 / 5

Meilleure activité que j'ai pu faire à Kiruna. Anders était très pédagogue et passionné par son métier, il nous a expliqué toutes les traces d'animaux qu'on a pu croiser et répondu à toutes nos questions avec beaucoup de gentillesse. Au sommet, il nous a servi du jus chaud pour nous réchauffer, et des pâtisseries à la cannelle. Je recommande chaudement ce guide et cette randonnée à tous les amoureux de la nature !
