Ski Arctic Sweden: June Snow & Midnight Sun!
7 Apr
Summary
- Riksgränsen offers skiing in June with continuous daylight.
- Arctic Sweden resorts are extremely cold, with temperatures around -20C.
- The Arctic ski pass covers Riksgränsen, Björkliden, Fjällby, and Narvikfjellet.

For those who believe the ski season is over, Arctic Sweden's Riksgränsen offers a unique opportunity to ski through June.
This northernmost resort hosts a Midsommar downhill jamboree, where snow farmers ensure ample coverage for skiing under the midnight sun. Skiers can enjoy night-time descents in bright sunlight, a phenomenon possible due to the perpetual daylight at this latitude.
In contrast to Alpine resorts, Swedish ski areas like Riksgränsen can reach extreme temperatures of -20C. Visitors can warm up with local food offerings after exploring the slopes, which are known for off-piste opportunities and heli-skiing.
The Arctic ski pass is a cost-effective option, priced from £140, granting access to Riksgränsen, Björkliden, Fjällby, and Narvikfjellet. Björkliden is family-oriented with beginner-friendly runs and stunning views, while Narvikfjellet offers more intense slopes, preparing for the 2029 FIS Alpine World Ski Championship.
Flights to Kiruna, a gateway to these resorts, are available from £96 in June.
