Aurora Snowshoeing

Northern Lights Tour Abisko

Capture the true feeling of a winter night in the arctic on our Aurora tour in Abisko, Swedish Lappland.
Your guide will take you to learn the
wintry way of movement with snowshoes. While walking on the snow, you will experience how the milky light of the moon and stars cast enchanting shadows through the snowfields and hopefully some northern lights if the sky keeps clear.

In Abisko there is a lot of animals that dwell in the birch forest during winter, so the possibility to see a lot of tracks is quite big. Most likely you will see tracks of forest hare, ptarmigan, foxes, lemmings, and if you are lucky you might even spot tracks form a moose.

During the tour we will have a break and enjoy some warm berry juice while the only sound you hear is the sough of the forest and fells. If you are lucky, you may even see the Northern Lights dance over the lake Torneträsk and over the mountaintops.

If there is a full moon and a clear sky you will also get a spectacular view over the Abisko mountain range which includes one of Sweden’s most famous mountain formations Lapporten which is a U-valley sculptured by the ice age

An incredible experience. We had a mix of recreational rock climbers and inexperienced climbers, and they were amazing at meeting everyone where they were and maintaining safety the entire time. I would 100% recommend to anyone. Wonderful people, great experience.

Ice climbing with Robin was a blast! We were a group of 5, and it was just us, so that was nice. Robin was easy going and friendly. He picked us up from our hotel at Abisko Turiststation and nice enough to drop us in Abisko downtown. We enjoyed our time. Recommended!

I did the snowshoe hike (as a total beginner) with Abisko Adventure and enjoyed it a lot! The guide Robin was very kind and gave interesting informations during the whole hike. And even if it was cloudy and snowing that day, I still got to see beautiful views. I highly recommend!

I went ice climbing with Robin and Rebecca, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! If I could give this more than 5 stars I would! Since it was most of our first time ice climbing, they did a detailed briefing on how to ice climb. Then even when we were climbing, they would also guide us through the climb when we needed it. They really did look after us very well throughout the whole tour, thank you both again!

An incredible introductory ice climbing experience! We were picked up in their campervans at the Abisko tourist office and taken a few kilometers away to an area with an ice wall near the road to try ice climbing with crampons and ice axes. The guides had everything very well organized regarding equipment: they provided us with alpine boots, harnesses, and helmets with headlamps. They explained how to use the equipment and even fitted the crampons for us. They demonstrated how to proceed with ice climbing safely and then secured us with their ropes. The guides were friendly and even encouraged the participants. At the end, they took us back to the pick-up point. The activity lasted a total of 3 hours. Perfectly suitable and safe for people who have never done ice climbing or traditional climbing before.

If you enjoy climbing, this is your unique opportunity to do it on a waterfall. It's definitely a 10/10 for me, and the instructors are wonderful and incredibly motivating. Don't worry, if you're inexperienced, they have different levels, from beginner to expert. ☺️
