The Midnight Trail (Midnattsol Stigen), is called this way in honor of this phenomenon and allows you to see Kiruna from the nearby mountain (Luossavaara).If you do not have a car or just want to go out to enjoy some nature and fresh air, this hike is a great option for you. A short walk of about 15 minutes from the city centre takes you to Camp Ripan where you can start your hiking.The hiking is extra nice to make in the evening during the midnight sun in the summer, but of course you can go out anytime of the year.
The path is easy to walk and fits all ages, but you should have moderate fitness, as the end of the hike is a slightly steep climb. But it’s worth it. When you reach the top of Luossavaara you will have a wonderful view of the entire Kiruna city, the mine and the surrounding mountains.
