Day 1: Abisko & Aurora Sky Station
Fly from London to Kiruna via Stockholm (stop-over in Stockholm can be added if you wish). Meet your transfer for the journey to your accommodation in Abisko.
To the west of Kiruna, the mountains of the Abisko National Park dominate the landscape. Located towards the summit of Mount Nuolja, in the heart of the range, stands the Aurora Sky Station which at a latitude of 68.2° offers one of the finest platforms for viewing the Aurora Borealis away from artificial lights.
Collect your thermal suits at the chairlift station before taking the journey up to the sky station at the top of the mountain. You will have time to view the small Aurora exhibition and to sit outside under the dark night sky. On a clear night, hopefully you will see the Northern Lights dancing across the sky above.
We also offer our clients the chance to include a welcome drink and four-course traditional evening meal, influenced by Nordic cuisine when arriving earlier in the evening at the Sky Station, ask for details.
After your evening at the Abisko Aurora Sky station you will travel back down the mountain by chairlift and return to your hotel.
Overnight in Abisko.
