I will be in Sweden this May and am considering visiting Abisko about the third week in May, but I am having difficulty finding information about about the weather and [day] hiking conditions when visiting the park in May. For example, will there still be snow, what are the trail conditions then, and are there many mosquitoes that early? Please advise.

Dear All, We are three couples reaching Kiruna by air on 21st January 2020. We are visiting the region with a hope to see the northn lights. We plan to hire a c staying at both the locations for 3 days each. Our total length of stay is going to be 10 days and we will be flying back to india from kiruna. My questions are as under - 1. Whether driving from abisko national park to Tromso and back is possible during winter? 2. In case we get to see northern lights at Abisko national park (our first proposed stop after reaching Kiruna) whereat we propose to stay for 3 days, then does it make sense to travel to Tromso? 3. What other things can we do during our stay of 10 days in the region? 4. We were initially contemplating to fly into stockholm and hire a car at the airport and drive to abisko national park by taking breaks of 1 or 2 days enroute. Is it crazy to consider the said option?

Mein Flug landet am 10.07 um 15h40 in Kiruna. Komme ich an dem Tag dann noch zum Abisko Nationalpark. Mir wurde visitabisko empfohlen aber die Busse lassen sich immer nur im Zeitraum okt-mårz buchen.

Did we need a car to this park for good view? Due to we will plan go to here by Public transport in 2018 March

Olá, Déborah. O que você gostaria de saber sobre esta atração? Eu gostaria de ter uma noção da localização de hotéis, do período ideal para ver aurora boreal, e se há serviço de guias confiáveis no local, autônomos ou vinculados a empresas. Mesmo com todo acervo existente na internet de fácil acesso, considero a opinião de quem já esteve no local mais segura com possibilidade de fornecer detalhes que o "markenting" não permite. Agradeço se puder entrar em contato.

Hola! te hago una consulta, el camino del rey lo hicieron solos o con un guía? Estamos planificando nuestro viaje a Abisko para la semana del 19/24 de Marzo con el principal objetivo de ver las auroras pero dicen que los paisajes de estos caminos son muy lindos tambien (pero no encuentro excursiones armadas). ¿Tenés idea si tamién se puede hacer en moto de nieve? Gracias! Saludos Florencia

Hi there. I'll stay in Kiruna from 26th to 29th at Camp Ripan hotel, and I booked the activity from the hotel except the one which is auroratour in abisko. They says its full of guests. What can I do in this case? How can I book a tour in abisko ? Any information will be helpful to me. I will truly appreciate it. Thanks...

Hi, we will be staying near Kiruna from 17-19 October 2016. We are a family with 2 boys aged 4 and 6. We have a car with us. Abisko is high on our wish list and so is the Aurora Sky Station, but going up there to see the Northern Lights would require us to go there past kids' bedtime (I'm reading online that the lights are best seen between 22:00 and past midnight, is that correct??), go in the charlift in the dark (which is daunting if you would know our youngest boy and how he doesn't sit still...), wait for the lights and then drive back to Kiruna. I'm worried it's a little bit too much for the boys, and the owner of the campsite we are staying at (Camp Alta) says that we might just as well see the lights from there, because they are 15km out of town (no light pollution). It would be much easier to monitor the aurora activity online, and get our boys out of bed when the lights are actually visible, or else let them sleep. What is your opinion/experience on going up to the Skystation with kids? Is it only worth it in the middle of the night? We would like to see Abisko by daytime though. Given that we have our own car with us, driving seems the logical thing to do. I was considering the Kiruna - Narvik train too because our boys are convinced that this is the actual "polar express" ;-) But it seems more flexible to go there with our own car...? Can you actually drive around in the park or is there only the E10 and the rest should be done on foot? In the latter case the train gets more interesting... Can anyone recommend walks / activities with the kids? They can walk for a couple of hours but if climbing is involved it should of course be safe enough. Where is this beautiful watervall located that is seen in every YouTube clip about Abisko? Is that reachable by car or within reasonable walking distance from a place where we can leave the car? Hope to get some info, our time up in Kiruna is limited (we have other reasons for being there that time of year) so planning helps to make the most of it. Thanx! Sander

Hi there, I want to do some backcountry camping and am planning to drive to Abisko National Park in May. Will roads be open for driving and should I plan for winter or spring camping gear? Any other advice you may have would be very helpful. Thank you!

Hello fellow travelers, I am planning to do a roadtrip to Abisko National Park, either driving up from Oslo up the e6 to the e10 or from stockholm up the e4 to the e10. I am going beginning of May and will have about 2 weeks to do the roadtrip. I will be bringing my tent and plan to camp out in the wilderness off the side of the road when possible. I have two questions: 1. How will the weather be in May? Should I plan for winter camping gear or spring camping gear? 2. I read that some parts of the road are closed off during the winter time in Norway, will they be opened again in May? Will it be safe to drive if I just rent a small car? Any other tips/advice will be greatly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
