very pretty, good guided walk. But it was quite hard going for us 70+ year olds because the snow was quite deep either side of the narrow path, so a lot of concentration needed to watch where you were walking. My friend fell three times. Having said that, we were there in January and Im sure those younger than us would have had no issues. We were just being careful because at our age, you don't want to fall.

STF, as the locals call it, may be a little different for you if traveling from the U.S. If staying at the hotel at the tourist station be sure to get the room upgrade. The regular rooms resemble a hostel with a small bathroom. I stayed there in both and the upgraded room is well worth the extra cost.

The dinners there are actually not bad. Be aware the menu rotates every three days and you option are only one set starter, entree, and dessert they have in that night’s rotation or a vegetarian option. The breakfast is chaotic. It’s only a buffet designed to maximize the number of surfaces everyone must touch and the time everyone hovers over the open food containers. So if you’re germaphobic you may have a problem The lunch is a little better, but not by much.

The good news is you can walk just outside the back door and see the Northern Lights when they are out. We chose a guided tour with Lights Over Lapland and had a very good experience. The guides take you to a number of different locations for viewing and try really hard to assure everyone has a memorable experience.

Many hiking trails and train station is within walking distance.

Visiting in winter gives you a snowy and iced landscape against a colourful sky (polar night). I enjoyed the hiking tracks and simply the silence of the place. Beautiful mountains, deep canyons, snowcovered trees, frozen waterfalls... The list goes on! Definitely worth a visit!

On our way back from the Lofoten Islands to Rovaniemi we spent the afternoon in this magnificent park full of lakes. It is the right place to walk in nature. There are paths of varying difficulty, even for short walks suitable for everyone. The panoramic points are also beautiful.

We visited Abisko for 4 nights and spent a few days around the park. We went husky sledging, walking and on a snow mobile. This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited. So serene and unspoilt. Lucky enough to see both the northern lights in the evening and the ‘snow crystal lights’ (not sure of their name) in the morning.

I would go back in a heart beat

I visited with a friend in early Feb to do a snow hike. We had a great time. The hiking paths are wel marked. The landscape has a beautiful austere quality to it. Absolutely amazing. Be sure to bring the right equipment when you go hiking!

We made the trip here from Australia specifically to see the Northern Lights. It was snowing when we arrived and the first night, all we could see was a green glow in the clouds.

The next day, we went for a walk and enjoyed the snow. It was a winter wonderland.

That night, we did a photographic tour with Lights over Lapland. We walked down to the lake, the clouds parted and we saw the amazing Northern Lights!

The next morning, the sun was out. We went for a walk and saw the huskies preparing for the winter season. They were beautiful.

We stayed in the Abisko Turistation. It was basic but it was warm. There were lots of little nooks to hide in around the hotel and a warm fireplace. The food in the restaurant was amazing. The staff were really friendly and helpful. It is located directly across the road from the train station. It is really easy to access.

I loved my entire experience of being in Abisko National Park. I can't wait to go back and stay a little longer and experience more of the area.

Came for the Northern Light but this only happens in the dark. What a better way to walk in the national park during the daylight hours. Enjoyed our walk in the marked path but can be difficult to know where you are going in the winter snow since most of the path were buried in snow. The walk to the lake takes about 20 mins (i guess) from the hotel building.

We came in autumn and this place wowed us. It's beautiful just by strolling in the national park. Every picture taken here is a work of art and the nature itself it's worth every cent you pay here. At night if you're lucky, you can see the northern lights. In just two nights. We managed to see the lights twice and they are dancing joy! IMO, it's the best place to see the northern lights. the Kings trail itself has its hidden beauty. We loved it and so will you.

We visited in Feb 2010. We wanted somewhere to see the Northern Lights and after looking at the forecast we drove to Abisko.

When we arrived we first had a meal across the road - traditional Swedish food including elk stew. Reasonably priced and full of people waiting for it to get darker.

Once it had got dark we drove over the road and took the chair lift to the Sky Station. We were already wearing ski clothes (and thermals) but we were also provided with a blue ski oversuit (common to all outdoor activities we found) and were very grateful for it. It was freezing on the open chair lift (2 people per chair) and it took a while getting to the top. As we climbed we could see the beginning of the Lights.

When we arrived we saw the Sky Station consisted of a wooden hut with cafe facilities and a warm waiting area. Toilets aren't inside - they are a few minutes walk across the snow fields :)

Even though it was -30c outside (with an added wind chill) plenty of people were taking photos and videos. It was dark so care had to be taken walking in the deep snow.

We had a lovely time (especially as my boyfriend proposed!) and would definitely return.

(The following evening the chair lifts broke down with people stranded still sat on them - it took over half an hour to get them fixed. The snow underneath is very deep and its advised not to jump into it but hang on for the chairs to be fixed.).
