Outing Highlights
High Arctic Mountains Within Reach
The rental gives you access to mountain corridors and valleys around Kiruna — classic winter terrain that many use as jump‑off points for single- or multi-day snowshoe excursions into Nikkaluokta and Abisko.
Self‑Guided, Public Transport Access
You pick up gear in Kiruna and then travel independently: bus and train links make Nikkaluokta, Abisko, Björkliden and Riksgränsen convenient launching points for your own routes.
Simple, Week‑Long Equipment Rental
The operator supplies snowshoes and poles with daily and weekly pricing; a weekly rental also includes skins — a minimalist kit that keeps logistics straightforward for independent winter travel.
What the day feels like
What Seven Days with a Pair of Snowshoes Feels Like
This is a deliberately simple offer: pick up snowshoes and poles in Kiruna, then spend up to seven days exploring on your own schedule. Routes commonly begin from established mountain hubs reachable by public transport; the rental covers the core hardware so you can focus on navigation and the terrain underfoot.
