skiing
In the winter months, we offer both heliskiing and ski tours for passionate adventurers. Whether you get there by air or on foot, our experienced guides and helicopters can whisk you away to some 60 skiable peaks, transporting you to a magnificent mountain world where every summit, valley, and mountain lake bears a Sami name. Here, between Riksgränsen, Abisko, and Kebnekaise, you can also ski around the clock in the midnight sun during the latter part of the winter season.
Arctic Winter Weekend
Join us for an unforgettable weekend in a breathtaking arctic environment. Fill the days with exciting adventures together with our guides, and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere, exquisite food and wine at the Villa in the evenings. If the weather conditions allow, perhaps we will get to see the Northern Lights put on a show as it gets darker.
Summit Hiking Experience
Hiking has been a longstanding tradition in Riksgränsen. In 1943, three recurring guests at Riksgränsen established the Riksgränsen summit badge. The badge aimed to welcome all true mountain enthusiasts to sportingly excellent, interesting, and thrilling ski journeys, providing diverse opportunities to acquire the skills of skilled, enduring mountain skiers and mountaineers. Only one summit per hike counts, in accordance with the original rules from 1943, and you can collect your summits during unlimited years. When you have summited five different peaks, the badge is awarded at a ceremony at the summit.
Join us for an unforgettable hiking experience amidst the landscapes of northern Lapland. Discover the rich tradition of hiking in the region and earn Niehku's prestigious 5-summit badge by conquering five summits over 1300 metres or with a vertical drop of at least 800 metres, summer or wintertime. To take part you need to be physically prepared for two long day hikes, 6-8 hours/day, with vertical drops up to 1100 metres. The terrain can be partly steep and rocky but will not include technical climbing; however, it will offer breathtaking views.
