Abisko Aurora Husky Hike - Tipi Campfire and Hot Drinks

Walk through the Abisko valley
with huskies in search of the aurora

Meet at the Abisko.net reception and set off with your guide on a 3-hour evening hike along forest trails in the Abisko valley. Retired Alaskan huskies join the walk, and afterwards you warm up by the fire in a traditional lavvu (tipi tent) with hot drinks.

Hike with retired Alaskan huskies

Your guide and a few retired Alaskan huskies walk the forest trail under the Arctic sky. These huskies ran and worked for years in the Arctic mountains and are now cared for for life in the kennel. They are still active and sociable and enjoy new adventures on the trail.

Wait for the aurora in an open spot with a wide sky

The hike is about 4 km round trip. You follow a gentle uphill trail to an open spot with wide views of the sky. On the way you stop at scenic places for night photography, where your guide shares tips on photographing the aurora. The route and equipment depend on the weather and snow conditions, and snowshoes are provided if needed.

Enjoy the campfire and cinnamon bun in the tipi

Sit by the fire in the traditional lavvu (tipi tent) with hot drinks and a Swedish cinnamon bun warmed over the fire. When weather permits, a campfire is also lit outdoors. Winter overalls, boots, and gloves are lent during the tour.

※ The northern lights are a natural phenomenon and sightings are not guaranteed.
