Top 5 things to do in Luleå in Winter

1. The Gammelstad Church Town World Heritage Site
The Gammelstad Church Town is a piece of history, showing what life was like in Luleå 400 years ago. The small, red church cottages and the large medieval church in old town are a unique environment that you simply have to visit. And don’t just take our word for it – in 1996, UNESCO decided to list Gammelstad Church Town as a World Heritage Site
2. The Ice Track
A 17 kilometre ice track surrounds central Luleå, it is easily accessible and costs nothing. Take a walk, go ice skating, or if you so wish, simply walk your dog. The ice track is the longest of its kind and it is internationally renowned for its high quality. In 2019, an ice skating event, part of the Dutch long distance skating cup KPN Grand Prix, will again be held in Luleå.
3. Dogsledding in a magnificent natural environment
We love winter but our huskies love it even more. A clear favourite of our visitors when it comes to seeing our wonderful nature is dogsledding. Stunningly scenic environments, adrenaline and beautiful animals – what more could you possibly ask for?
4. Snowmobiling
Snowmobiling is one of the favourite local pastimes here in Luleå. It is not just a form of transportation across ice and snow. It is the way we get our into our beautiful nature to explore our environment, see wildlife and enjoy the winter silence.
5. The northern lights
The northern lights are a magnificent spectacle. They are not always out and the clouds sometimes hinder our view. However, when they are they are something not to be forgotten. Luleå, with its nearby views across the sea to the north, has great northern lights opportunties.
