If you are thinking about travelling by train, you could buy the Arctic Circle Pass that runs from Kiruna and Narvik in Norway. There are 10 stops on the journey and you can hop on and off at any of the 10 stops. For example, you could spend a day at Abisko and visit one of Europe’s oldest national parks. Björkliden is another popular destination from where it’s possible to make a day hike to Låktatjåkko Mountain Lodge, Sweden’s highest located mountain lodge.
