The whole area of Abisko is in my opinion overestimated. It does not have any particular beauty of a village or a town. There are all together few trees around. It is quite noisy from all the cargo trains passing by. Hostel is very simple and it sauna is working only one hour at night. Go to Finland for the real Artic experience!
We stayed for three nights in a private room. It was perfect if you don't mind having a shared bathroom and kitchen. You have a sauna available every night, 60 huskies you can play with, and boots can be rented. All within a short walk to the train and grocery store. The staff are very friendly and helpful! I would definitely stay again!
My daughter and I went on individual dog sleighs and it was a wonderful (invigorating) experience. The staff were lovely, including the woman at reception who made sure we were properly kitted out. The guides gave a good preparatory talk to begin and I liked the emphasis on dog welfare and safety as well as re-assurance for the humans! There was no doubt these huskies got individual care and attention. The journey took off at speed and good concentration and dexterity were required- I fell twice at the beginning ( much to the amusement of my daughter) but the guides were kind and helpful in their advices and I became confident as we went along. The journey itself was very beautiful, going through forest tracks and trails. We stopped for a break halfway which gave us a chance to take a breath and take the experience in. The trip was expensive but definitely worth it. My only criticism wasI felt it was cut a little short. Overall however top marks.…
Amazing location with lots of choice of activities or great to explore surroundings. Hostel has a large kitchen with the major cooking facilities. Large rooms and 4 showers. Stayed for 3 nights and saw ones the Northern lights. Very friendly and helpful staff at the hostel and also by responding any enquirers I had beforehand.
My girlfriend and I chose to do a the individual Huskies Sleigh. We arrived and all the huskies were excited for the outing, and the guide gave us a good tutorial before starting the trip. The ride it self was beutiful throgh Abisko national park, we even saw a moose! Throughout the huskies were well behaved, and everyone in the group had a smooth ride. There were plenty of stops to take photos and have a break. It was a very enjoyable afternoon, highly recommended!
