Aurora Hiking Abisko

This tour is a perfect evening activity for those visiting Abisko during the autumn months.
We hike to nice viewpoints in Abiskodalen and look for the northern lights if the sky is clear, and if there is moonlight you can see one of Sweden's most famous mountain formations, Lapporten, as a massive silhouette in the dark and fantastic reflections in Torneträsk before the ice has settled.

During the autumn months, big changes take place in nature in Abisko. At the beginning of the autumn season, the mountains burst with bright colors in red, orange and yellow, and then the landscape becomes quite dark and barren until the first snow falls and everything sparkles in snow and ice crystals.

The polar night begins in autumn here in Abisko, which means that the sun does not rise above the horizon during the darkest months of the year. So in addition to the northern lights, you can experience other beautiful lights in different colors in the polar sky that only occur during the polar night, even in daytime.

On this hike, we may use snow crampons or snowshoes depending on how the conditions on the mountain look like for the day, and is a decision the guide makes on the same day, just before the tour starts.

Note that the northern lights are a natural phenomenon and therefore something we cannot guarantee that we will see, although there is usually a high chance that it will occur here in Abisko.

The tours start at 20.00. The duration is approximately 3 hours. The tour includes snowshoes, hot beverages and transfers from/to your accommodation in Abisko or Björkliden. If you wish to join this tour on another time/date than those scheduled, please send an email with your request to aril.p@abiskoadventure.se
