Professional Guide

Abisko Nationalpark

Ice climbing is one of the most popular activities to do in Abisko because it is one of Sweden’s best places to go ice climbing.

In and around Abisko there are a lot of different icefalls for beginners as well as experienced ice climbers. The many icefalls and the beautiful surroundings with the Abisko Mountains and the veiw over lake Torneträsk is some of the reasons why ice climbing in Abisko is so spectacular.

The tour starts with a short drive to the icefall where your guide will provide you with ice climbing equipment and take you through the first basic steps of climbing vertical ice and instructions on how to handle ice climbing crampons and ice axes.

Make sure you dress warm and you will get one of the best arctic experiences in your life!
