Luossavaara
A small hill north of Kiruna. In summer it offers views over the whole city and the iron mine mountain under the midnight sun, and in winter it becomes a local ski slope.
The hilltop is about 725 meters above sea level. You can reach it by car or on foot, and the view covers the old and new parts of Kiruna and the Kiirunavaara iron mine mountain opposite, which helps you grasp the scale of the city's relocation. In the midnight sun season of summer, it is a free viewpoint, and in winter there is a small ski slope. Parts of the old mining facilities remain on the mountain, so do not enter the abandoned buildings inside the fences.
