Spring (April - May)

From April to May, Kiruna wakes up from its long winter. The snow starts to melt, days get longer, and the sun shines more. It can still be a bit chilly, but the green plants begin to appear, and people enjoy being outside, hiking, fishing, and just enjoying the bright spring days 

Longer Days, Last Snow, Spring Sun

• Spring skiing – Enjoy sunny slopes with plenty of snow. Tip: Early to mid-April is usually the safest for skiing, with enough snow still on the slopes.

• Mountain tours – Easter is popular for ski trips in the mountains. Tip: Late March to mid-April is best, as snow conditions are still good and the weather is more stable.

• Ice fishing – A traditional activity on frozen lakes. Tip: Early April is generally the safest time for ice fishing, when ice is still thick but spring is arriving.

• Photography – Unique light when winter meets spring.

• Wildlife Watching - Look out for reindeer and other animals as they become more active in the warmer weather.
