Complete guide: dogs in Kiruna

Northern lights and mountain hiking

Aurora season is September to March. Abisko National Park (1.5 hours away) is one of the world's best aurora spots thanks to low cloud cover. Summer: the Kungsleden trail from Abisko to Nikkaluokta.

Hotels

Camp Ripan has cabins with direct access to aurora and mountain terrain. Scandic Ferrum in central Kiruna and Hotel Kebne are other dog-friendly options.

Getting to Kiruna

The night train Stockholm–Kiruna (16 h) accepts dogs in a dog carriage. Flight from Stockholm Arlanda (1.5 h) — dog in cargo crate or small dog in cabin.

Winter tips

Paw balm, dog boots and a dog coat in winter — Kiruna can hit -30°C. Short walks and indoor rest are important. Ears and paws are the most sensitive parts.

Day trips

Abisko National Park, Jukkasjärvi (the Icehotel village, dogs in the surrounding park), Kebnekaise mountain station (summer hiking) and Kiruna church for photos.
