such as Abisko National Park. The location north of the arctic circle attracts tourists for experiencing the midnight sun. Tourists also come for the lakes and rivers of Lapland. There exists rafting on the Kalix and Torne rivers, canoeing in the Vistas valley near Nikkaluokta, and boat trips on lakes such as Tornetr�sk. Caving can be done near Bj�rkliden. Each year in summer, the Kiruna festival is organised, a music festival in the midnight sun.
In winter, the Ice hotel attracts tourists from all over the world. The northern location makes it a good place to observe the northern lights, and snow cover generally lasts from October to May. The long and certain snow cover makes it a good place for skiing (cross-country and alpine), dog sledding or driving a snowmobile. Ice climbing can be done in the mountains and sometimes one can go ice skating on lakes or rivers. Each year in winter, the Snow festival is organised, including scooter jumping, reindeer racing, an ice sculpture contest, and more.
