Abisko – Ice climbing (morning)

Excitement, challenge, and adrenaline in combination – it is you who is one with the ice. With ice axes and crampons as your only tools and a professional guide by your side, you reach new heights on the surging, vertical ice.

First, we familiarize ourselves with the equipment on ‘flat ground’ before we start the exciting ice climbing. The location for ice climbing is adapted to where the conditions are best for the season and works both for curious beginners and experienced climbers. Feel the sense of community, safety, and joy that emerges during this intense activity.

About the area

Abisko is located in northern Lapland, around 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, and is one of Sweden’s most accessible alpine mountain areas. Abisko National Park offers a well-developed trail system with clearly marked routes, making the area suitable for both shorter trips and longer hikes.

The Kungsleden trail passes through the area, heading south between Lapporten (Čuonjavággi) and Mount Nuolja. To the north of Abisko lies Lake Torneträsk, one of Scandinavia’s largest mountain lakes, contributing to open views and a varied landscape.

The area is known for excellent conditions for seeing the northern lights in winter and the midnight sun in summer. Visitors can follow marked trails independently or join guided tours, and equipment rental is available if needed.

Booking conditions

The program may be subject to change due to weather and snow conditions or other unforeseen circumstances.
