Abisko – Midnight sun hike

During the polar days, the sun never sets, and the midnight sun bathes the landscape in a golden glow during the night. We take the cable car up the mountain then hike for two kilometers to the summit of Nuolja, and enjoy nature’s breathtaking beauty.

The experience begins in the cable car, a serene evening ride that slowly and quietly takes you up the mountain. From the top of the chairlift, we continues on foot to reach Nuolja’s summit. The hike is taken at a relaxed pace, with several stops along the way as the guide shares fascinating stories about Abisko’s history and unique environment.

At the summit, we enjoy sparkling wine, snacks, and – weather permitting – the golden glow of the midnight sun that never dips below the horizon. It’s a magical moment where the sky and mountains blend seamlessly into a scene that can only be experienced here, north of the Arctic Circle. Shortly after midnight, we begin our descent back to the chairlift, where the tour concludes. You can choose to take the lift back down or linger a while longer to soak in the atmosphere.
