Enjoy the Northern Lights: The highlight of the beauty of the town and probably the country is Northern Lights. The best time to enjoy the Kiruna northern lights tour is in the winter months.

Skiing in Kiruna: Skiing is another one of the winter activities in the town. Many skiing trips are offered in the town that takes you through the forests of the town and to the open landscape of the frozen Torne River. You can also enjoy a lunch cooked over an open fire that will be an exhilarating experience.

Dogsledding: The name explains the activity. A sled powered by dogs is what you need going through the snow-covered region of the countryside. Huskies are the main breed used for the purpose. You can also get to handle the sled yourself through the frozen rivers and the open landscape. The experience is quite serene when you ride the sled in dead silence over frozen lakes.

Ice fishing: You may have seen Ice fishing in movies but here you get to have hands-on experience of the same. You cut a hole on the Ice surface and let the hook settle in the cold water below the surface. And you can enjoy whatever you fish out as your lunch. This will be a novel activity for most of the tourists and hence having a guide throughout the process is advisable.
