Abisko National Park

Abisko National Park is located in northern Sweden and covers an area of 77 sq km. Established in 1909, it is one of Sweden's first national parks, created with the original intention of "preserving an area in the northern Nordic region in its original state for scientific research," and the Abisko Scientific Research Station is also located here. The park is situated on the southern shore of Lake Torneträsk and is famous for its excellent aurora viewing conditions—the unique microclimate of the surrounding valleys keeps the area clear more frequently than the surrounding regions, making it renowned as one of the best places for aurora viewing in Northern Europe. The famous "Kungsleden" (King's Trail) hiking route passes through the park, which also features the typical U-shaped valley "Lapporten," lakes, and Lapland wilderness scenery, serving as an important window for experiencing the natural beauty of Sweden's far north.

STF Aurora Sky Station

Located on the summit of Mount Nuolja in Abisko National Park in northern Sweden, Aurora Sky Station is a famous location for aurora viewing. Protected by the microclimate of the surrounding valleys, this area has more clear days throughout the year than the surrounding regions, resulting in a very high success rate for aurora viewing and earning it a high reputation among aurora enthusiasts in Northern Europe. The station offers exhibitions and explanations about the principles of aurora formation and features an indoor viewing area, allowing visitors to wait for and admire the dancing auroras in a comfortable environment, making it an iconic place to experience the aurora culture of Sweden's far north.
