Kiruna's iconic Jukkasjärvi Ice Hotel, rebuilt each winter from 5,000 tonnes of ice harvested from the Torne River, has welcomed guests since 1989. This northernmost city in Sweden sits 145 km above the Arctic Circle, offering a landscape shaped by iron ore mining and Sámi heritage. Visit the Kiruna Church, voted Sweden's most beautiful pre-1950s building, or explore the LKAB Visitor Centre to learn how the city is literally being moved 3 km east to make way for mining operations. Abisko National Park lies just 95 km west along the E10, a gateway to world-class hiking along the Kungsleden trail. Nearby Nikkaluokta, 66 km west, serves as the starting point for treks towards Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest peak at 2,097 m. The terrain around Kiruna is vast and open, with well-maintained roads that suit larger vehicles, though winter driving requires studded tyres and careful planning. Hiring a campervan here means total freedom to chase the Northern Lights in winter or the Midnight Sun in summer. With Yescapa, you can rent directly from local owners in the Kiruna area, giving you insider tips and a vehicle already equipped for Arctic conditions. A motorhome from a local host is the ideal way to explore Swedish Lapland at your own pace.
Kiruna rewards visitors year-round, each season offering something remarkable. From December to March, the Northern Lights illuminate the Arctic sky, and the Kiruna Snow Festival in late January brings ice sculpture competitions and Sámi cultural events. June and July deliver the Midnight Sun, with 24 hours of daylight ideal for long campervan drives along the E10. Summer campsites around Kiruna open from mid-June, so booking ahead through Yescapa ensures you secure a well-equipped vehicle for peak season. Autumn brings golden birch forests and quieter roads, perfect for a relaxed motorhome trip with fewer fellow travellers and competitive hire prices.

Amazing experience! Rocio was great and really explained everything and sorted any doubts we had throughout the booking and before and during the trip. The camper is in amazing condition, really comfortable, and as decribed. Definitely would recommend!!!!
Joas and his friends were really nice and left the camper in a really good condition. Even the young age were really mature and everything was perfect and left really nice stuff for future renters ☺️ Thank you guys ☺️
Everything was perfect from the first contact, to the final moment. José is a very attentive owner, and is very available to help with questions and information.
Everything went very smoothly. The owner was very helpful and explained everything to us. We also used the airport transfer both ways.
Trip was great, Davide was easy to work worth and always responsive. Was crazy hot and sleeping was tough given the heat but overall everything worked great, van was easy to drive and gave us some amazing experiences in the Dolomites.
This couple were a pleasure to host. They were friendly, respectful, and took great care of the van throughout their trip. Communication was easy, and they returned the van clean and in excellent condition. Overall, they were lovely guests, and I'd be happy to host them again anytime. Highly recommended!
