Abisko

The National Park has attracted hikers from all over the world for more than a century. Here begins the famous ā€Kungsledenā€ and here is where you have the best chance of seeing the Northern Lights. If the Swedish mountains had its own capital, it would surely be Abisko.

Ljusvattnet

Along the slowest part of the E4, between UmeƄ and SkellefteƄ, you pass the seemingly insignificant village with the self-explanatory name Ljusvattnet. Crystal clear lakes, summer and winter.
