Abisko sits beside Torneträsk lake inside the Arctic Circle, at the northern end of the Kungsleden trail. Its position in the rain shadow of the Norwegian mountains gives it more clear nights than anywhere nearby, making it a leading northern lights location. In summer the same terrain offers midnight-sun hiking and the U-shaped Lapporten valley view.
