Morning hike in Abisko “HERE COMES THE SUN”

Experience the return of the sun in Abisko

The beginning of the year is a special time above the Arctic Circle – the sun is back. Join us on a hiking and sightseeing tour into the beautiful landscape of Abisko.

Between Darkness and Twilight - The Colors of Sunrise in the Arctic Circle

Here in Abisko, one of Sweden’s northernmost towns, the sun set on December 6th, 2022, marking the start of the polar night. The polar night lasts for several weeks, until in mid-January to mid-February, the sun will rise above the horizon once again and the light will officially return to the many towns and regions above the Arctic Circle. As the sun rises, the sky shows us stunning displays of pink, orange and purple, covering even the snowy mountains.

During the hike, we will enjoy the stunning views of Abisko Village, Lake Tornetrask, Silver Waterfall and Lapporten. Our experienced guides will show you off-trail places that you will not be able to visit on your own. When we arrive at our viewing destination, we will enjoy traditional Swedish cookies and hot chocolates while we admire the sunrise and the pink pastel sky.

Celebrate the Culture and Natural Beauty of Swedish Lapland

This is the perfect tour to take to explore the beauty of Swedish Lapland. Our guides will teach you about this natural area, and show you the most important facts to understand this unique region, from the ground to the sky. We will tell you the stories about Lapland and its inhabitants, the Sami people, Abisko and Kiruna and the polar nights.

Swedish Lapland is full of ancient traditions and culture, Lapland is the land of the Sami people, last indigenous people of Europe who call the area Sápmi. It is also the home of unique animals like reindeer, moose, fox, Arctic hares and Arctic owls. Our guides will give you some tricks to spot them during the hike and in the nearby natural areas and reserves!

After we have enjoyed the hike and the hot chocolate surrounded by stunning views, we will head home to Abisko.

Die Tour mit Cristina und ihrer Begleitung war wunderschön. Sie war flexibel mit der Route (Sie hatte auf dem Weg zu uns einen Elch gesehen, zu dem wir dann gefahren sind) und hat uns viel interessantes erzählt. Die Wanderung zu den unterschiedlichen Orten war abenteuerlich und spannend. Absolute Empfehlung!

100% worth it Cristina was super friendly and helpful. Luckily the weather was fantastic during the whole trip and we're being able to spot a mother moose with calf by the road for a moment, and the landscape Chirstina took us to was just astonishing. She would also take some pictures of you with the amazing view.

Wunderschönes Erlebnis! Tolles Rundumpaket, in dem von all den unterschiedlichen Seiten der Region etwas enthalten ist.
So ist beispielsweise die Aussicht nach der Wanderung, die auch einen durchaus etwas steilen Aufstieg mitbeinhaltet, atemberaubend - an sonnigen, klaren Tagen kann man zum Beispiel wunderschön das "Tor Lapplands" zu bewundern.
Zudem waren die Guides sehr freundlich & zuvorkommend - ein guter Mix aus ungezwungener Unterhaltung und Erklärungen oder Erzählungen zur Region.
Es war auch genug Zeit, die Natur in aller Ruhe zu bewundern &... read more read less

Daytime hike in swedish lapland "Here comes the sun" is a very new daylight tour. We went on a frozen lake shore. We got to see some small ice caves with lots of stalactites & an ice forest. Then we went up à small mountain with snowshoes on.
And we end up sipping hot chocolate, eating heart-shaped cinnamon biscuits while we enjoyed the scenery.
Eventhough we had rain at first, then snow & wind, it was such a fun hike!
Cristina was so helpful, nice and vibrant. She... read more read less

We love Swedish Lapland as we call “the best place in the world to see the northern lights “ for so many reasons!
We know that it is not as popular as “other northern lights” destinations and it is one of the main reason why we love here as we are in the middle of nature alone!

The season is done but we already started to get many bookings for next season! 🤩
Why is it so important to book in advance for Lapland?
✅ We operate in hard conditions, as many people say out of nowhere, that’s why everything is limited here and as it is on high demand, so easy to be sold out
✅ You can see northern lights from September until April, there is no best month to see northern lights.
If you don’t want to come in busy period or if you don’t want to experience too much cold then autumn is for you, September and October are fantastic!
