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 is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
Head 95 km west on the E10 to reach Abisko, one of Sweden's finest national parks. Hike the first section of the Kungsleden trail or take the chairlift to Aurora Sky Station. Campervan parking is available at Abisko Turiststation, and the road follows the scenic shores of Lake Torneträsk the entire way.
Drive 66 km west from Kiruna to Nikkaluokta, the gateway to Kebnekaise, Sweden's highest mountain. The road ends at a small mountain station with parking suitable for motorhomes. From here, a 19 km trail leads to Kebnekaise Fjällstation. Stock up on supplies in Kiruna before heading out, as services are limited.
Travel 170 km southeast through Swedish Lapland, stopping first in Gällivare to visit the LKAB mine and Malmberget. Continue south to Jokkmokk, home to the Ájtte Sámi Museum and the famous Jokkmokk Winter Market held since 1605. Roads are wide and well-maintained, with campervan-friendly rest stops along the E45.
Head 200 km east from Kiruna along Route 45 and Route 99 to Karesuando, Sweden's northernmost mainland village on the Finnish border. Visit the Laestadius Pörte Museum and cross into Enontekiö in Finland. The open tundra landscape is ideal for motorhome travel, with wide roads and few traffic concerns.
Drive 340 km northwest from Kiruna across the Norwegian border to the Lofoten Islands. Cross via Narvik and follow the E10 through dramatic fjords and fishing villages like Reine and Henningsvær. Campervan pitches fill quickly in summer, so plan stops at Ramberg or Kabelvåg campsites. A truly memorable Arctic road trip.
Follow the Inlandsvägen (Route 45) south for 520 km from Kiruna to Umeå, passing through Jokkmokk, Storuman, and Vilhelmina. This quiet inland route crosses vast forests and rivers, with plenty of free overnight parking spots for campervans. Stop at Storforsen, one of Europe's largest rapids, and visit the Guitars Museum in Umeå.

Campsites around Kiruna cater well to both campervans and motorhomes, with options ranging from lakeside spots to mountain-edge facilities. Most sites open from mid-June to mid-September, offering electrical hook-ups, heated service buildings, and waste disposal stations suited to Arctic conditions. Several campsites in the Kiruna area also provide winter pitches with power connections for those chasing the Northern Lights. Booking ahead is recommended during the Midnight Sun season.
Parking a motorhome or campervan in Kiruna is straightforward, with several dedicated areas close to the town centre. Sweden's Right of Public Access (Allemansrätten) allows overnight stays in most rural areas, but within Kiruna itself, designated parking areas are the best option. Overnight parking is generally permitted in marked areas unless signs indicate otherwise. During winter, ensure your vehicle is plugged into an engine heater post — these are widely available across Kiruna's car parks.

Exceptional experience, I highly recommend it! Nuno is responsive, attentive and genuinely caring: he picked us up at the airport and provided us with a comprehensive list of must-see spots to explore the island, eat and sleep. Thanks to him, we discovered Madeira in a truly unique and authentic way. An unforgettable trip, made possible in large part by his invaluable help.
