Dundret
A flat-topped mountain south of Gällivare with midnight sun views from the summit in summer and a popular ski resort north of the Arctic Circle in winter.
Dundret rises to 823 metres just south of Gällivare. In summer, you can drive up the mountain road to the summit. From early June to mid-July, you can watch the sun shine all night from the top. On clear days, the views stretch across the Laponia mountains and the Malmberget mining area. In winter, Dundret is one of northern Sweden's major ski areas, with several runs and cross-country trails. It is also a great place to watch the northern lights. The mountain is about 95 km from Jokkmokk and suits an overnight stay in Gällivare or a stop on the way to Kiruna.
