The good morning tours here go weeks ahead, and in the dark season they go months ahead. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.

“Great to be taken to some good locations in the National Park and to learn about the landscape and the people.”
Walk 3 to 4 km through Abisko National Park with a guide such as Sara, Felix, Cecilia, or Marco. Expect mountain birch forest, the Abisko River canyon, Lake Torneträsk views, wildlife tracks, and stories about Sami life. The two-hour hike suits beginners, but warm clothing and steady footing are essential.
