Walk over the frozen sea and view Lulea from the seaside. Great experience and one of the highlights in Lulea in winter.

Storforsens Naturreservat

Reviewed By 70stelland - Bromma, Sweden

Very nice natural reserve where the main attraction is the rapids in the Pite river. You can also walk on trails and bridges a little away from the river itself. There are several prepared bbq sites. There is also a café also serving light meals open in the summer and a shop with local handicraft open the year around. You can also visit a museum show how timber was transported down the river and all its rapids from the middle of the 18 hundreds.

Arctic Moose Farm

Reviewed By E5060VAdavidb

We found the Arctic Moose Farm on Trip Advisor and decided we’d like to visit as we were staying on the boarder in Finland. We called speculative to arrange a visit and was welcomed by Ola, the owner, who arranged to meet us at the farm. We were really pleased with the experience and would recommend it for two reasons, you can get up so close to these huge and gentle creatures. Oscar was a particularly big Moose who we fed with some carrots. Secondly we met Ola the who was an equally big character, he explained to us about the husbandry of moose and their lifecycle, told us funny stories and gave excellent moose call demonstrations (If you go you’ll understand my Title). Ola also introduced us to the family herd of reindeer. We were able to walk amongst them, they weren’t penned in so no fences. He spoke to us about how his ancestors had been Reindeer farmers for 100s of years and answered our questions. He also told us about how in his lifetime he’d seen the environmental conditions change for the worse, nature wasn’t able to respond quickly enough to the climate. This year he was having to supplement the reindeer diet as unusually wet weather in December 2019 had entombed the natural reindeer food in ice throughout the winter. We are a family of 4, inc two children 10 & 13 and we all enjoy these types of experiences, there were only 2 other people with us so this was more of a private and exclusive tour and guide. Finally we experienced a very important piece of Swedish culture, Fika, which is a break for coffee and a slice of lovely cake made by Ola’s wife. Thank you to Ola and his wife.

If you are in to trekking and mountain hike, this is the place. One of the most beautiful places in Lapland. Plenty of well marked trails to follow. The "Kings Trial" Kungsleden starts here at the Abisko Turist station.
