Introducing Abisko
An exceptionally inviting and rewarding place to hike, the 75-sq-km Abisko National Park spreads out from the southern shore of scenic Lake Torneträsk. It's less rugged than either Sarek or Padjelanta, and easier to get to, being well served by trains, buses and the scenic mountain motorway between Kiruna to Narvik.

Abisko is the driest place in Sweden, with only 300mm of rainfall per year, which creates an interesting landscape, quite distinct from its surroundings. One of the most renowned mountain profiles in Lappland, Lapporten, can be seen from Abisko.
