Emilia Kihlén
Stand-in manager & Head guide
Emilia is our head guide and stand-in manager. She is from Malmö, which is almost as far south as you can get in Sweden. Emilia is a huge fan of dogs and backcountry-skiing both nordic and alpine. Before she started working in Abisko she worked in Kittelfjäll which is Sweden’s best area for offpist-skiing by lift. Kittelfjäll is the area in sweden that is especially close to Emilias heart.
When she grows up she wants to live in a cabin by a lake with a lot of dogs and eat homemade waffles every day. If you’re lucky and get Emilia as your guide she might bring her dog, a samojed, on the tour.
