This really is an amazing place for heliskiing as it lets you access beautiful remote wilderness. Catch a ride high into the mountains to Nallo Cabin where you’ll be able to base yourself for a few days as you go in search of fantastic powder. Another great option is a Ski tour along the King’s Trail, this will take you from Abisko Mountain Station to the base of Sweden’s tallest mountain, Mt. Kebnekaise and you’ll stay in huts as you go.
