Traveling in a passenger sled pulled by a snowmobile, you can sit back, stay warm and enjoy the journey while one of our experienced guides leads the way. The route takes us through snowcovered forests, across frozen lakes and along quiet winter trails deep in the Arctic nature surrounding Abisko. As we travel through the landscape, we keep an eye out for local wildlife such as moose, reindeer, Arctic hares, ptarmigans, and animal tracks in the snow. Every tour is different and while wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, the journey itself offers a unique glimpse into the untouched nature of Swedish Lapland.

Along the way, we stop at scenic locations to take photos, explore the surroundings and learn more about Arctic wildlife and life in the north. During one of the stops, we gather around a campfire to enjoy a warm drink and light snack while the guide shares stories about the area, the animals and the changing Arctic seasons.

This tour is perfect for families, photographers and anyone looking for a peaceful and easy way to experience the beauty of Swedish Lapland in winter. No driving licence is needed, making it a fun and accessible adventure for guests of all ages.

Starting time for the tour is 13:30 and we are back at our meeting point at 16:00. Please be at our starting point 15 minutes before the scheduled starting time. If you wish to join this trip on another date than those scheduled, please send an email with your request to [email protected].

What guests say about our Arctic Nature & Wildlife Spotting Tour in Abisko

★★★★★

“Yesterday we went on a snowmobile sled tour with Anne, and it was wonderful. Our 5-year-old daughter joined us and was so lovingly looked after. The activity was absolutely fantastic. We learned a lot about Abisko and were even surprised with a cozy campfire in the snow. Our well-being was taken care of throughout the entire tour, and we felt incredibly comfortable. Such warm and welcoming people. Highly recommended! Thank you so much — we will never forget this experience.”
