Tour through the rugged Kebnekaise massif
Step into the heart of Swedish Lapland and discover the Kebnekaise massif, where glaciers carve deep valleys and peaks rise above 2,000 metres.

With IFMGA-certified guides by your side, you’ll climb, skin and ride untouched slopes, moving from one alpine valley to the next.
