Abisko – Midsummer Celebration

Skip to booking widget

Celebrate a traditional Swedish Midsummer in Abisko, where the mountain landscape awakens after a long winter and the midnight sun shines its brightest over the majestic scenery. With this package, you will enjoy unforgettable moments.

The celebration begins on Thursday afternoon with a 3 course dinner in our beautiful restaurant Kungsleden. On Friday, we celebrate Midsummer by decorating the maypole together, followed by dancing, music, and delicious Swedish food. As evening falls, our guides will take you on a midnight sun hike, where you’ll witness the sun that never sets, hovering at the horizon and painting the sky in golden and pink colours as it begins to rise again. On Midsummer’s Day, you’ll have time to explore the mountains at your own pace, and we’ll be happy to share our best tips on hiking trails and activities. With the midnight sun’s glow and Abisko’s stunning scenery, this will be a Midsummer you’ll never forget. Welcome!

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

You can cancel up to 30 days before arrival. After that, no refund will be issued.
