Hiking in Abisko National park provides you with an opportunity to enjoy the scenery for as long as possible, giving you mind blowing memories while hunting for the Northern Lights.
Filled with expectancy, you get ready to experience a genuine mission: spotting the night's best Northern Lights. Using only hand-held oil lamps you go out into the dark polar night, stopping at places in the Abisko National Park that are known to give brilliant views of the lights. During the hike you learn more about this heavenly phenomenon. The route taken, downstream along Abisko River through mountain birch forests to Torneträsk, is a classic one. Have your camera ready in case the Northern Lights show. At the end of the tour, an open fire will warm you up warm while you can discuss impressions of your night time adventure with other participants. The distance of the hike is approx. 4-6 km.
