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.

Kiruna offers several parking options suitable for motorhomes and campervans. The town centre has public car parks with enough space for larger vehicles. Overnight stays in your vehicle are generally not permitted on standard car parks, but designated areas nearby allow it. Pay attention to local signage, as regulations may change due to the ongoing town relocation project. Dedicated motorhome parking areas provide a convenient base for exploring the area.
Very good communication with the owner. Easy procedure. The van is in excellent condition and a joy to travel with for a small family.
Martino and his friends were great guests! There were some issues with the motorhome but they communicated very professionally and respectfully all the time. We provide a replacement vehicle for them. They treated the motorhome as their own and took great care of it. Totally recommend them!
Really great rental, campervan was in great condition and very well kept. Easy to collect and the staff were very helpful despite my lack of French. We loved driving the van, it was so easy get around and to set up when we arrived at campsites. Some bedding might have been useful but a Hypermarket was not far away to stock up on that and food. Thanks for the great experience :o)
A fantastic experience from beginning to end. The owner was incredibly kind, available, professional and genuinely a pleasure to deal with. Everything was extremely easy and smooth throughout the entire process: the communication before our trip, the pick-up, the week we spent with the motorhome, the drop-off and even the communication afterwards. The motorhome itself was a 10/10. It was practically brand new, in excellent condition, very comfortable and perfectly equipped for our trip. At pick-up, the owner took plenty of time to give us a thorough walkthrough and explain how everything worked. He also pointed out the more delicate parts of the vehicle and what we should pay particular attention to. We really appreciated this because it helped us understand the motorhome properly and take better care of it throughout our trip. More than anything, the whole experience felt easy and trustworthy. A beautiful motorhome and an excellent owner who genuinely cares about both his vehicle and the people renting it. We would happily rent from him again and can highly recommend him to anyone considering this motorhome.
Super expérience avec Anaïs et Gunther, le voyage a largement répondu à nos espérances et les a mêmes dépassé. Les propriétaires sont parfaitement à l'écoute, disponibles, arrangeants et amicaux. Aucun problème de communication ou de désaccord à déplorer. Le véhicule en lui-même est super bien aménagé, tout est bien pensé et optimisé pour offrir le maximum de confort possible, et rien n'a manqué de ce qui est montré dans l'annonce. De plus, la conduite est très fluide est agréable. Merci encore pour les souvenirs inoubliables ! :)
Great experience! The owner was very kind and flexible. he gave us the vehicle in perfect state, clean, functioning and with all the things needed. The vehicle worked perfect all the trip. We highly recommend this owner!
