Winter Activities
Step on your snowshoes or cross country skis and explore Lapland’s winter, starting at Skabram campsite.
Follow the endless trails over the frozen lake of Skabram, or step into the footprints of the sled dogs of our neighbors, Jokkmokkguiderna. Snowshoe enthusiasts can enjoy themselves in the vast, untouched forest which borders on Skabram. For the very active skiers there is the nature reserve Talvatis, just 3 km from Skabram. Here you'll find challenging well groomed lighted trails of varying distances and difficulties.
And coming ‘home’ after a long day out in the cold, you can relax in our small, wood-fired sauna on the edge of the Skabram lake.
Northern light
You can admire the magical Northern Light, which moves during cold dark winter nights in the sky above Lapland, directly from Skabram. Our campsite is exactly in the small area around the Arctic Circle where the phenomenon is mostly seen. Northern light is a natural light display in the sky, particularly in the polar regions, caused by the collision of charged particles from the sun directed by the Earth's magnetic field.
Dog sled
Discover Lapland by dog sled. Seat yourself comfortably in a sled and enjoy the silence and stunning views, or drive your own team of huskies through snow covered forests and into the unique wilderness of Swedish Lapland. The only noise you will hear is the true silence of nature and the gentle crunching of the snow as the sledge glides across the white surface.
You can book a tour from 1,5 hour up till 10 days.
