Hiking tour in Abisko

This hiking tour goes in the Abisko valley north of the Abisko mountain massif, which includes Lapporten, among other things. Lapporten is one of Sweden's most famous mountain formations, a large U-shaped valley formed during the Ice Age.

In Abisko valley there are several so-called nabbar, which are small hills that stick out in the birch forest. They are often bare of trees than the surrounding area, which provides
fantastic vantage points over large areas. From most of the villages in Abisko you can see the mountain Nuolja and Abisko National Park in the west to Lapporten and Stordalen in the east, the Abisko mountain massif, the so-called Abisko Alps in the south and Torneträsk in the
north.

The area around Abisko offers a fine mountain flora. The area is unusually dry and calcareous for mountain terrain and is sometimes called an arctic desert. This is because several rare plants thrive here. In Abisko there is also a rich wildlife. Moose, hare, wolverine, lemming, ermine, reindeer, fox and even lynx have been seen. Several species of birds also thrive in the area. Common ptarmigan, buzzard, kestrel, grebe, hawk owl, barn owl, blue jay, gray shrike and snow sparrow are possible to see. Many ornithologists are also here in the area to see
northern warblers which have breeding grounds in Abisko.

Please be at the pickup location 5 minutes before the scheduled pickup time.
