What To Expect

The daylight changes much during our arctic winter. From the blue “Kaamos” light to amazing sunsets where the sky can be full of colors. That is why we aim to get up above the tree line so we can enjoy the view and see the landscape. On our way up the mountain, we will stop regularly and check out animal tracks and other forest features. While on the top we will enjoy a hot drink and maybe take some cool photos.

My tour was such a great experience! Anders is a local who is super passionate about his environment and culture, and was able to really share his knowledge with us. It was refreshing to have that experience on a group tour. The hike was also super pleasant and definitely a once in a lifetime opportunity! Thank you for the amazing time!
An in-depth experience of Nordic nature!

It's a very meaningful trip! Along the way, the guide introduced us to the history, current situation and the various flora and fauna of Kiruna. We saw footprints of all kinds of animals: hares, foxes, reindeer, elk and a bird (but I don't remember the name). Anyway, it was a fun trip and we got a lot of knowledge about nature!
Recommend you spend time with Anders for an enjoyable walk.

We hiked up a mountain with Anders in Kiruna. Pick up and quick drive was friendly and informative. The nature was snow covered magic! Lush surrounds. Lots of interesting animal tracks to spot. A good paced hike both up and down and the snow shoes were comfortable ! I do recommend you buy the heat warmers off Anders at the start! Thank you for also getting gluten free cookies for me to enjoy our celebration snack at the top of the mountain :) Definitely recommend for the outdoors adventure !
Uplifting and humorous guide - highly recommended

Anders is an amazing guide who shared generously his knowledge on Kiruna history, heritage, wildlife etc., peppering it with humorous anecdotes and interesting perspectives and insights. His passion for his craft is evident and infectious. He was also very accommodating and upon my request, switched the tour to snowshoeing up the mountain instead of the forest walk. His fika of home-made traditional pastry and lingon cum blueberry juice was an extremely nice touch. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and highly recommend any of his tours.
Good hike

Very nice experience. Friendly tourguide who took the time to explain everything. You will be rewarded with a nice view when you are on top of the mountain. It is not too difficult or hard to do.
A superb activity!

A superb activity to do near Kiruna! I write this comment quite late, but the timing is perfect for the winter season 2024-2025. We chose the Up a mountain snowshoe hike, which was perfect from start to finish! Anders is a very passionate, interesting and really nice guide. In a few hours we learned a lot about Sweden, the ecosystem, the Sami culture, etc. Having never snowshoeed, hiking was relatively easy, with a nice reward arrived up there: a delicious lingonberry juice and typical cookies, with a beautiful sunset as a bonus 😍 It was by far the best activity we could do here in Lapland! Do not hesitate!! Thanks again Anders!

We had an amazing time during our snowshoe tour up the mountain. It was incredible to be surrounded by nature with nobody around us. It felt like we had the mountain just for ourselfes. Except the animals which left there marks in the snow and Andres told us so much about the animals, the forest, the area and Kiruna. He is a great, nice and funny tour guide. We had a wonderfull experience and we would definitly do it again.
