This is probably our most popular day time activity and one that brings you close to nature in a very special way.

Option 1 is to journey Alaskan Trapper style which allows you to experience the sensation of being pulled through the snow by your enthusiastic sled dogs, admiring the beautiful landscape whilst your guide does all the work!

Price: £175 per person
Option 2 is to take charge of your own sled for the trip (shared with your partner) and feel the sensation of driving 6 enthusiastic huskies through pristine snow and wilderness
Price: £245 per person

Venture out on snowmobiles (2 persons per snowmobile) and explore this beautiful area. A spectacular way to spend half a day.

DAY 4
Daytime Arctic experiences. Night time aurora hunting
DAY 4
Daytime Arctic experiences. Night time aurora hunting
Enjoy another day of exploring the majestic scenery in and around Abisko. Your photo guide will take you out on your chosen day trip to capture some stunning arctic landscapes. The contrast between the frozen Lake Tornetrask and the mountains that form the Abisko alps creates majestic vistas and with so much light variation two days are seldom the same.
The days in December and up to Mid Jan are short and a period when the light does not rise above the horizon. This ‘blue light’ is so evocative but as it yields to the new sun from January onwards some of the most dramatic arctic sunrises and sunsets occur. Their intensity is hard to describe but the contrast against the white of the snow is simply dazzling and makes for great photographs.
The longer days of Feb and March provide more options for getting to see things during the day and are when you are most likely to see wildlife.
Just to remind you you can chose from on the following:
Chose from a morning hike in Abisko National Park, Landscape photo adventure, wildlife photography, Icefishing, snow shoe walks, railroad and WW2 history or 2 longer themed hikes if you would like to really get off the beaten track.
This evening enjoy dinner prior to aurora hunting with your private guide or alternatively you have the option of adding in a night visit to the world famous aurora sky station. If the Northern Lights are out then seeing them from this elevated position with the backdrop of the arctic wilderness around Abisko is simply breathtaking.
