Stunning landscapes and great guide! - We did a morning hike with Miquel and it was just amazing!! He also told us many interesting facts and stories - you can tell how passionate he is about his job and how much he loves and respects the national park!
It is definitely one of the most stunning places I’ve ever been to. In hindsight, I wish we had taken the time to do a longer hike, because the morning went by too quickly! I would love to go back and spend a few days just there.
Totally recommended👌🏻

The last wilderness in Europe - Our morning hike guide Miquel is what made my trip to Abisko such a memorable experience!! He was the same guide we had for 3 of the 4 nights of Aurora Photo Adventure. The unparalleled beauty of Abisko National Park will make your heart sing. The wisdom Miquel shared about the land and the beautiful customs of Sami people was both eye-opening and really made an impact on me. Miquel is wise, kind, genuine, endlessly patient and has a lovely sense of humor! What a beautiful experience with memories I’ll treasure forever!

A Memorable Experience! - We had an amazing morning hike with Claudio in the Abisko National Park! Abisko National Park is utterly beautiful and having a guide allowed us to truly enjoy the experience. Claudio is an expert in the area and his passion for this special place is contagious. He even spotted an arctic hare in the bushes about 40 feet away! The hike was one of our highlights of our trip to Abisko!

Do it! - We had a wonderful morning hike with Felix as a guide. He’s super knowledgeable about the park and will answer all your questions! He’s also a pro photographer and will make sure you get the best possible pictures ;) We had walked through the park alone before but it was just so nice to hear and understand so much more about it thanks to the guide.

Highly recommend for beginners! - We took this tour yesterday with Felix. We loved Felix as our guide. He was so friendly and knowledgeable about everything! We are beginning hikers and this hike was perfect for us. Felix was flexible and took us a little out of the way after picking us up at our hotel to see a momma moose and her calf! On the hike we saw the canyon and learned about unsafe hiking in the area! The canyon was spectacular! We saw animal tracks and walked out onto the frozen lake all while learning about the National Park and Abisko area.

Magnificent experience! - Very good organization of the activity (easy pick-up at the indicated location, small group of people).
Kindness and knowledge of the guide (Félix) on the nature and history of the place.
Easily feasible hike with good shoes in winter because of the potential for slipping on the snow.
The opportunity to walk safely on the completely frozen Lake Torneträsk with a 360 view of Abisko Park.
Several magnificent viewpoints.
Access to the restaurant at the Turiststation STF in Abisko (all-you-can-eat buffet, copious, delicious and inexpensive).
