Search flights from KRN to GEV
LKAB Iron Mine
The world's largest underground iron ore mine, showing massive open pits and industrial infrastructure.
Scandinavian Mountains
Distant views of the high-alpine peaks, including the Kebnekaise massif if the visibility is clear.
Kaitum River Valley
A spectacular river system known for its pristine waters and popularity among wilderness fishermen.
Dundret Mountain
The prominent nature reserve and ski hill that dominates the Gällivare skyline as you descend.
Malmberget Mine
The massive mining excavations surrounding Gällivare, visible shortly before touchdown.
This is the 'industrial' side; sit here to see the sheer scale of the mining operations that define these two towns. Look out for reindeer herds in the clearing areas during the winter months. For the best mountain views, try to book a mid-day flight when the sun illuminates the western peaks.

Kiruna Town Center
View the unique urban relocation project where parts of the city are being moved to avoid mining subsidence.
Kalix River
A view of one of Europe's last remaining free-flowing rivers snaking through the Lapland wilderness.
Boreal Taiga
Vast expanses of untouched Arctic forest that change dramatically from deep green to snow-white seasonally.
Arctic Wetlands
Intricate patterns of peat bogs and small lakes typical of the sub-arctic plateau.
Sit here if you want to see the new city development areas of Kiruna. In winter, this side is excellent for spotting the low-hanging moon over the flat horizon. Morning flights provide soft light over the forest canopy.
