Autumn Outdoor Activities

Autumn is a spectacular season. It is as if nature decides to show off its very best side just before settling down for winter hibernation. The lush countryside now explodes in a fantastic show of colour and in the all darker skies above we welcome the arrival of the rare dance of surreal light. At our latitude, the northern lights begin to appear in the night sky already towards the end of August. But the skies have so much more to offer than just the northern lights. A short walk from the bustle and glare of the city you can stand and be enveloped by the darkness with the constellations of the northern hemisphere shining above. This, of course, depends on the weather. It is such an incredible feeling, being able to experience everything a clear night sky can offer. Autumn in Kiruna is breathtaking in so many ways. Our autumn activities bring you closer to the warm colours, fresh air and everything we love about the season.

Welcome to a spectacular autumn in Kiruna!
