Question 1

How far is Abisko from Kiruna?

Accepted Answer

Abisko is around 95 kilometers (or 60 miles) from Kiruna. You will need to travel along the E10, a highway that runs between the two and through Abisko National Park.

This will take you all the way to Narvik, Norway and you'll travel along beautiful Lake Torneträsk for a portion of the journey.

Question 2

Should I take the train or bus from Kiruna to Abisko?

Accepted Answer

I believe a shared transfer with Kiruna Transfers is the best way between the two, but if you're budget-conscious, a train is the better way to get from Kiruna to Abisko. Just be sure to pre-book your ticket online, as they often swap out the train for a bus and only allow pre-booked tickets on it.

Question 3

Does the bus to Abisko run year-round?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there is a bus to Abisko year-round but Bus 505 only runs to Rensjön in the winter months. From there, you'll need to request an additional transfer to Abisko by calling Länstrafiken Norrbotten (+46 0771 100 110) on Monday or Wednesday to secure this additional service that only runs on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Question 4

How do I get from Kiruna Airport to Abisko?

Accepted Answer

You can book a shared transfer, taxi (Uber also works in Kiruna now), or hire a car to get between Kiruna Airport and Abisko. Alternatively, you can take the free shuttle from Kiruna to Kiruna railway station, which runs 15-30 minutes before train departures.
