GALLIVARE – SWEDISH LAPLAND!
Gällivare is situated at the northern end of the
Inlandsbanan railway line, just about 100 kilometers
north of the Arctic Circle. Gällivare is located in a major
iron ore mining region. Outside Gällivare lies the ski
resort Dundret, which is equipped with ski lifts and ten
groomed slopes. Further you will find lots of possibilities
for country skiing. The ski season stretches from the end
of October all the way into early May. Gällivare is twinned
with Barga in Tuscany, Italy and Levi in Finnish Lapland.
Throughout the whole year Gällivare offers a set of
eventful and recreative adventures. In spring and summer
the “World Heritage Laponia” invites to hiking and
mountain biking tours. Lots of lakes and rivers with
crystal-clear water virtually summons you for kayaking,
fishing or perhaps gold panning. Fall spoils you with it’s
complete color palette of shining yellow, red and orange
tones. An unforgettable sight.
