Abisko National Park, Lapporten, Trollsjön, Kungsleden and Torneträsk are some of the finest pearls of the Northern Lapland mountains in the Abisko-Riksgränsen mountains area.

Abisko National Park was established in 1909 and is one of the first 8 national parks in Europe to be established in the same year. Since Abisko comes first in alphabetical order, it is usually called the first official national park. The purpose was to protect an area of ​​high Nordic mountain nature and as a memorial ground for scientific research.

The name Abisko comes from the North Sami name Ábeskovvu which translated into Swedish means roughly ‘the forest by the big water’. The big water then refers to Torneträsk which is Sweden’s sixth largest and second deepest lake. However, Torneträsk is considered Sweden’s largest mountain lake.

Tjuonavaggi or Lapporten is one of Sweden’s most characteristic mountain formations. It is a U-shaped valley formed by the ice sheet and lies between Tjuonacohkka in the east and Nissoncorru in the west. Tjuonavaggi means goose valley in Sami and the mountain peaks mean goose peak and women’s peak. The valley to the west is called Nissonvaggi and means women’s valley. In the past, only women were allowed to pass through and men were allowed to walk through Lapporten so as not to bring misfortune with them, according to legend.

See you in the mountains!
