Ice climbing is one of the most popular activities to do in Abisko because it is one of Sweden's best places to go ice climbing. In and around Abisko there are a lot of different icefalls for beginners as well as experienced ice climbers. The many icefalls and the beautiful surroundings with the Abisko Mountains and the veiw over lake Torneträsk is some of the reasons why ice climbing in Abisko is so spectacular.
The tour starts with a short drive to the icefall where your guide will provide you with ice climbing equipment and take you through the first basic steps of climbing vertical ice and instructions on how to handle ice climbing crampons and ice axes.
Make sure you dress warm and you will get one of the best arctic experiences in your life!

About Activities
Good to know
Each activity has a level of difficulty described below. We always adapt the pace to the group to ensure everyone has a great experience.
Relaxing: this is not exhausting at all, on the contrary!
Slow pace: Can be compared to a light walk. As a participant, you can often adapt the effort to your own level.
Moderate: This level of exertion requires a little more from you as a participant. At this level, it is more often a matter of endurance rather than great physical effort, but we recommend a normal level of fitness.
Demanding: This level often requires both willpower and higher physical fitness. We recommend that you talk to our knowledgeable staff in the sports shop if you are unsure.
Quite a challenge: This level requires a lot from you as a participant. You should be both strong and confident behind the brow bone - at this level we will always ensure your suitability before completing the activity.
