Explore the incredible Arctic landscapes of Swedish Lapland on a unique adventure that allows you to enjoy a fun ride with an expert who will guide you to the best viewpoints on this amazing evening sledding experience from Abisko! Abisko is located in the Kiruna municipality, almost at the northernmost part of Swedish Lapland. This incredible place is situated inside the beautiful Arctic nature with long valleys surrounded by tall, snowy mountains, lush forests, and small traditional villages, and it's one of the best places to observe the Northern Lights, thanks to its remote, low-light pollution location.
On the day of your sledding experience from Abisko, you can arrive at the Abisko Hikes headquarters or be picked up at Abisko STF Tourist Station and taken there. You'll be welcomed by a friendly instructor who will explain the safety measures you should follow throughout the experience and tell you how the activity will work. If it's cold enough, your instructor will distribute overalls, boots, and mittens for you to stay warm during the experience. You'll then hop on the sled, set yourself up comfortably, and once everyone is ready, you'll set off!
Your expert instructor will be leading the excursion on the snowmobile that will pull the sled. You'll travel through the stunning Abisko Valley with its beautiful surrounding mountains and snowy, Arctic forests, and actively search for the Northern Lights that are likely to appear in the area. You'll make a few stops along the way to observe the landscapes and listen to stories about the region from your instructor, and midway through the experience, you'll take a break to drink something warm by the fire. As you return to the starting point of this evening sledding experience from Abisko, you'll keep your eye in the sky for the opportunity to observe the aurora!
Remember that the Northern Lights are a natural, unpredictable phenomenon, so even though Abisko and Finnish Lapland tend to be the place to see them, it is possible that they won't show up on the day of your excursion. Other than that, you should remember to bring warm, thermal, or wool underlayers of clothing, a hat, a scarf, your camera, and, if you have it, a tripod to get good pictures of the night sky, and anything else you might need (medication, snacks, etc.) to spend an amazing 2 to 3 hours on this evening sledding experience from Abisko!
Don't miss out on an incredible activity in the Arctic landscapes of Swedish Lapland with an expert instructor who will make sure you have fun, learn about the area, and even get to see the Northern Lights if it's possible. Book your evening sledding experience from Abisko today!
