Great for families and children.

Did you know that… the record for flipping a sandwich is 88 flips, and that it originally started as a scientific experiment to make cannonballs bounce on water!

When it’s too cold to swim, you can still have fun by the water. The beach down by Torneträsk and Silverfallet is full of fantastic rocks of all sizes that are perfect for skipping. You might think they’re man-made, but the stones have been shaped by the movement of the water and because the rock formations here are layered. The stones tend to split into flat pieces and get worn down. To find the beach, follow the trail down along Rákkasjohka.

Who can bounce 5 times on the water?

If you're feeling a little restless, there's a large trampoline, an obstacle course, and a slackline on the lawn outside the hotel.

Who can complete the obstacle course the fastest, or who can take the most steps on the tightrope?

No one knows until you've tried it. Outside the hotel, you can also practice your lassoing skills on our homemade reindeer. You can borrow a lasso and get instructions for free at the sports shop.

If you’re up for a slightly bigger adventure but don’t want to tire out your little ones, the chairlift in Abisko might be a good option. The whole family can experience the grandeur of the mountain world without having to struggle up to a mountaintop under their own power.

There are several variations of the hike you can take, and you can tailor it to what works best for your family. The lift starts at the Abisko Tourist Station and takes you up to 900 meters above sea level, giving you a 264-meter elevation gain and about 1.8 km left to the summit of Njullá. You can choose to take the lift down, hike down toward Abisko, or walk back to Björkliden.

For the chairlift’s operating hours, check the STF Abisko website or call their reception desk at 010-190 24 00. If you’d rather not hike along the Rallarleden trail to Abisko, you can get there by car, train, or bus.

On a really hot day, a refreshing dip can be the very best thing, and the little ones often think it’s a great idea—even if their lips turn blue. The best places to swim with kids are at Badsjön or down by the beach at Torneträsk. Feel free to bring a picnic with a hot drink and a change of clothes for afterward, and turn your swim into an outing where you can explore the area around the water. You’ll find directions to the swimming spots under “Swimming Spots.”.
