Máttaráhkká Northern Lights Lodge

Tucked away on the outskirts of Kiruna, this intimate, family-run lodge offers a warm and authentic northern experience. With only seven double rooms, each featuring a private loft and ensuite bathroom, the lodge provides a tranquil setting ideal for couples or small groups of friends.

Relax in the open-plan lounge, where soft chairs and a crackling open fire invite you to unwind after a day of Arctic adventures. Meals are served next door in the restaurant, which boasts breathtaking views of Kiruna’s snow-covered mountains—a perfect backdrop for enjoying delicious, locally inspired cuisine.

From this serene base, you’re perfectly positioned to explore northern Sweden's winter magic.  Visit the original ICEHOTEL, a world-renowned art installation and hotel crafted entirely from ice and snow; Join an Aurora Photo Tour in Abisko National Park, one of the best places in the world to witness the northern lights or experience a gourmet dinner and aurora hunting at the iconic Aurora Sky Station.

At the lodge, guests are welcome to borrow snowshoes, enjoy a quiet moment on a reindeer skin with a mug of hot chocolate, and, if the skies are clear, watch the aurora borealis dance overhead.

This is more than a stay, it’s a journey into the heart of Swedish Lapland.
