Abisko Canyon (Abiskojåkka)
Abiskojåkka
A deep gorge cut by the Abisko River through limestone and shale, with emerald rapids close at hand. It is a 10-minute walk from the tourist station.
From Abisko Turiststation, follow the trail to a wooden bridge and viewing platform over the river, where you can look down on emerald water churning through the narrow gorge. Then walk the riverside loop for about an hour back to the start. It is the most convenient short walk after arriving in Abisko. In winter, icicles hang from both sides of the gorge. Do not approach edges without railings, and wear ice cleats when the paths are icy.
