General questions

I'm driving to Abisko, where should I park?

Choose Abisko Guesthouse when you choose the pick-up location in the booking. There you can park your car and wait in the lobby until you are picked up when the tour starts.

Can I bring my dog ​​on the trip?

You can always email and check if you can book a private tour if you want to bring your dog. It can work if you want to hike or go on snowshoes, not ice climbing.

Ice climbing

Can I take the morning train from Kiruna, participate in the ice climbing tour and go back with the afternoon train?

No, unfortunately the train times do not match.

If you take the morning train to Abisko, you will have time to participate in the afternoon tour, but you will not have time to catch the train back.

If you participate in the morning tour, you will have time to catch the afternoon train from Abisko.

Which shoe sizes are available on the alpine boots and on the helmets?

On alpine boots there are sizes 36-48 (EU) and on helmets there are 48cm-63cm. Avoid hats with tassels/balls on them so that the helmet fits.

Is there an age limit for children on the ice climbing?

Yes, for children the age limit is from 10 years. Between the ages of 10-16 it is required that paying guardians also participate in the tour. 16-18 year olds may participate without an accompanying adult.

Can I come along and watch as my group climbs?

If you don’t want to climb, you can still book and pay for a place on the tour. In the event of an ice fall, it is required that everyone has safety equipment regardless of whether you climb or not, and that the shuttle bus has limited seats.

How should I dress when I'm ice climbing?

See the weather forecast and dress according to the weather. Note that wind strength and cooling effect play a role in how cold it feels outside.

Most of the time it’s fine if you put on the clothes you have with you and don’t forget a hat and gloves. If you need to rent or borrow clothes, contact your accommodation and see what they can offer.

Snowshoes

Do I need a special type of shoe for the snowshoes to fit?

No, the snowshoes are sized according to your own shoes so normal boots or winter shoes will work fine. Low shoes or sneakers are not recommended.

How should I dress when I go on snowshoes?

See the weather forecast and dress according to the weather. Note that wind strength and cooling effect play a role in how cold it feels outside.

A small backpack that can hold a jacket is good to bring in case you need to put on or take off some clothes during the tour.
