Abisko – Midnight sun hike

As Abisko lies 250 km north of the Arctic Circle, there is Arctic daytime from the beginning of June, which means the sun does not set. Join us for a hike in Nordic alpine terrain under the midnight sun, in the glowing golden light.

After a short walk, your midnight sun experience begins in our chairlift, moving slowly and quietly upwards with mountain scenery as your panorama. Eventually the chairlift reaches Aurora Sky Station and from there, at 900 meters elevation, you will start the 2 km hike to the summit of Mt. Nuolja that sits at 1164 meters above sea level.

Along the way we do a few stops where we get time to enjoy the view and listen to the guide that tells us about the history of our surroundings. At the summit we celebrate the accomplishment with some well-deserved beverage and some snacks, and if the weather allows, we get to enjoy all this in the beautiful glow of the midnight sun. Soon after midnight we start the hike back down to the chairlift that will take you back down to Abisko turiststation.
