Other Winter activities at skabram camping
Below is a number of activities you can do during wintertime right around the corner of the campsite in Skabram. We sell fishing licenses, and you can book the sauna in the reception or directly on the website.
Ice Fishing
Our campsite sits on the shore of Skabram lake. Fishing is allowed in the lake, where you can catch perch, roach and pike. You can buy your fishing licenses in our reception, or at ifiske.se. The link below takes you to Jokkmokks Jakt och Fiskevårdsförening, which is the organisation that regulates the fishing in Jokkmokk municipality. You can find alot more information on their website.
You can rent your fishing gear at our reception, including drills for making holes in the ice.
Snowy sauna
Enjoy our own sauna in winter conditions. Throw yourself into the snow and roll around in the cold before you go back into the steaming hot sauna. This is something you must not miss out on when you visit the arctic!
Hiking on snowmobile tracks
This is a lovely activity which is very popular in this region of the world. There is a multitude of snowmobile tracks around Skabram, leading in all sorts of directions. Some tracks are fresh and soft and not suitable to walk on, while most tracks are very hard and perfect for hiking. You never know where you end up when you walk along these tracks, but they sure make it easy to get around in nature! The best part? It's completely free!
If you want to hike in the soft snow or go on trips in the wilderness you can rent snow shoes in our reception.

Other winter activities around Jokkmokk
Below is listed a number of popular activities that you can do during wintertime in Jokkmokk town and in the nearby vicinities. Jokkmokk is known as a sort of cultural center for the samis in Sweden, so things like Ájtte sami museum and various sami handicraft shops are very popular among tourists. You can also find alot of other things to see and do when you explore Jokkmokk.
Ájtte Sámi Museum
The museum in Jokkmokk is a very popular tourist attraction. The exhibitions are of high quality and here you can learn alot about the life in the north of Sweden. There is particularly much information about the sámi people and reindeer-herding. The museum has a small gift shop where you can buy authentic sámi handicraft, jewelry and other things.
There is a popular lunch restaurant in the museum, which we recommend to all our guests.
Handicraft shops
In Jokkmokk there are many small shops where you can buy fine sami handicraft. A visit to the town is well worth the time and you might find unique, hand-made souvenirs with amazing quality which you can't find anywhere else.
Cross country skiing
There are two beautiful recreational areas outside Jokkmokk with prepared skitracks during wintertime. One area, Getberget skitracks, is situated about 1 km north of the campsite. We have a skitrack that starts at the camping and connects to the Getberget skitracks. Red and blue tracks on the map are prepared as ski tracks during wintertime, the other colors are hiking trails in the summer.
If you want to ski when it is dark, there's an area with prepared skitracks located by the Talvatis lake in Jokkmokk (outside of Hotel Jokkmokk).
There are also nice possibilities to ski on the Skabram lake, just next to the campsite.
(Please notice that we don't provide gear for skiing, this you need to arrange on your own.)
Downhill skiing
There are several slopes in the villages and towns close by Jokkmokk where you can go downhill skiing. Kåbdalis in particular is a fantastic place if you enjoy these kind of activities.
Snowmobile safari
When you visit the arctic a snowmobile safari is a must if you haven't allready done it before. We can recommend Samelandsresor, a local company in Jokkmokk with many years of experience with these kind of activities. They also provide rental cars if you are in need of a car.
