“very good. guide took a beautiful route through the wilderness and stopped and the places for capturing the aurora”
From Kiruna, a guide drives you to Kalixforsbron for a small-group snowmobile outing limited to six people. Learn to drive, cross frozen lakes, track wildlife, and warm up with fika by an open fire. Marc and Evia have led recent outings, though the Aurora depends on clear skies.
“La nostra esperienza è stata fantastica! Marc è stato puntuale e ci ha portato al loro accampamento dove ci hanno fornito delle tute adatte e ci ha spiegato come guidare. Poi è iniziato lo spettacolo! Guidare sotto la luna nella natura della Lapponia svedese è stato meraviglioso. Nonostante non abbiamo visto l’aurora (sfortunatamente era una giornata nuvolosa) ci siamo divertiti ed emozionati. Abbiamo seguito le orme di un alce e siamo perfino entrati dentro un igloo. I ragazzi sono stati scrupolosi e attenti alle nostre esigenze. Esperienza super consigliata se si è a Kiruna.”
Join a certified English or Swedish-speaking nature guide for a two-hour aurora search from Brändön Lodge. You’ll ride a snowmobile-drawn sled across frozen sea and between islands, stop for Arctic nature talks, and make a fire in the snow for hot drinks and cake. Warm gear is provided.
“My husband and I booked this excursion for my birthday, and I will confirm it was absolutely perfect. Our guide was excellent! We will definitely be back, and recommend to all our friends/family! Thank you so much again :)”

“Génial. Le transport depuis le centre ville de Lulea se fait très bien. Le personnel est très accueillant, l’activité est ludique et accessible à tout le monde. Pause au milieu de la balade avec feu et collation typique suédoise ! Un must de voir des aurores boréales ! 😍 Je recommande vivement”
