Travel from Kiruna to Narvik through Abisko, Lake Torneträsk, Arctic mountains, and fjords on an informative small-group day trip.
“Overall good value for the money, don‘t expect the most dramatic scenery, Narvik is not an ancient cute town. Seen some decent spots, but next time would rent a car and do the Trip on my own. Nothing bad with the tour at all, I just enjoy the freedom to stop the car at any possible Location to take some Images.”
