Why HELI SKI in Abisko?

We have chosen Abisko as our base. Close to the airport, the famous weather-window in Abisko, and a small cozy lodge where we feel at home.  The biggest plus? We are the only operator here. 

Abisko Lapland, in northern Sweden, is often said to be the last, great wilderness in Europe. It is huge, more than 5,000 square meters. We live in this fantastic mountain area and are almost always completely alone. All of our skiing takes place over the tree line, with peaks up to 2100m. Then you should not forget that we start almost at sea-level. We are about 200 km north of the Arctic Circle.

We are always thankful we can operate and ski here, all we leave are our tracks, that are often blown away the next day.  We are ambassdeurs for this area, to be able to show it to skiing visitors  coming to Sweden, by foot it would be impossible unless you do month longs expeditions.

Abisko Mountain Lodge

This is where we call home, in the middle of the large mountain environment we fly in. Mina and Dick Johansson run this lodge, Mina the brilliant hostess who is aware of every detail and Dick is also IFMGA guide and works a lot with us. Abisko is a small village with 50 inhabitants. The lodge is open all year round, but in April & May we fill the lodge with skiers. There's a special atmosphere in these two months. The lodge has 20 rooms, a bar and a comfortable lounge with wood-burning stove for socializing in the large armchairs.

Adjacent there is a sauna, a massage room and chairs to sit and cool down after sauna, of course we look at Lapporten!

The Restaurant

Abisko Mountain Lodge has one of the best restaurants here in northern Sweden, it is a for sure a culinary trip. The chefs are from all corners of the world, using the local products from the area. Such as reindeer meat, fish from the rivers and berries picked by hand. A large breakfast-buffé with a selection for all our international guests, a warm picnic lunch with homemade hot-food, homemade bread and all extras. For dinner, there is a 3 course dinner, stunning looking and at the same time filling. They know what skiers need! There is an interesting selection of beers and wines, and of course all the non-alcoholic choises. Don't forget your camera, you will want to remember.
