Kiruna sits 145 km north of the Arctic Circle, making it Sweden's northernmost city and the gateway to some of the country's most dramatic landscapes. Founded in 1900 to serve the LKAB iron ore mine — still the world's largest underground iron ore mine — the entire city centre is currently being relocated 3 km east to avoid ground subsidence from mining activity. You can follow this extraordinary urban transformation at the Kiruna Stadshus, the award-winning city hall shaped like a Sámi reindeer-antler formation. Culture runs deep here: Kiruna Kyrka, a striking red timber church built in 1912, was once voted Sweden's most beautiful building. For a window into indigenous heritage, the Ájtte Museum in nearby Jokkmokk (250 km south) and the Sámi cultural experiences in Jukkasjärvi (17 km east) offer unforgettable encounters. Nature lovers can reach Abisko National Park in around 95 km to the west, where the Kungsleden trail begins its 440 km journey south. The Torne River valley and surrounding birch forests provide wide, well-maintained roads that suit larger vehicles comfortably. With Yescapa, you hire your campervan or motorhome directly from local owners across northern Sweden, giving you the flexibility to explore the Arctic wilderness at your own pace and with genuine insider tips for the region.
Kiruna rewards visitors year-round. From late May to mid-July, the midnight sun bathes the landscape in continuous daylight — ideal for long campervan drives along the E10. The Kiruna Snow Festival in late January celebrates Arctic culture with ice sculptures and Sámi traditions, while the Jokkmokk Winter Market each February draws crowds from across Scandinavia. September and October bring excellent chances of spotting the northern lights. Book your motorhome through Yescapa well ahead for the summer months, when demand from local owners peaks. Winter travellers should look for vehicles fitted with studded tyres and engine heaters.
Kiruna is the perfect base for exploring the region by motorhome or campervan. Here are our 6 must-see getaways
Just 17 km east of Kiruna, Jukkasjärvi is home to the original ICEHOTEL, rebuilt each winter from Torne River ice. Visit the Sámi-painted Jukkasjärvi Church and try a dog-sledding tour. Campervan parking is available near the village centre, and the short drive makes this an easy day trip or overnight stay.
Head 95 km west from Kiruna along the E10 to Abisko National Park, the starting point of the Kungsleden trail. Stop at Torneträsk lake for panoramic views and ride the chairlift to Aurora Sky Station. Several campsites near Abisko welcome motorhomes, with hook-ups and waste disposal facilities available.
Drive 70 km north-west from Kiruna to Riksgränsen, Sweden's most northerly ski resort on the Norwegian border. The E10 is well maintained and passes through mountain scenery along the Ofoten line railway route. Designated parking areas suit campervans, and you can cross into Narvik, Norway, for a fjord-side lunch.
The 330 km south-east drive from Kiruna to Luleå follows the E10 and E45 through boreal forest. In Luleå, explore Gammelstad Church Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the Norrbotten Museum. Motorhome services are plentiful along the route, and Luleå offers several well-equipped campsites by the coast.
Travel 250 km south from Kiruna to Jokkmokk, heart of Sámi culture. Visit the Ájtte Swedish Mountain and Sámi Museum and time your trip for the famous Jokkmokk Winter Market in February. The route passes through vast pine forests with regular rest stops suitable for campervan overnight parking.
Cover 520 km south from Kiruna to Umeå, the European Capital of Culture 2014. Stop in Boden to see its historic fortress and in Skellefteå for the Sara Cultural Centre. The E10 and E4 are wide, well-surfaced roads with fuel stations and service points for motorhomes at regular intervals along the way.

Kiruna and its surrounding Arctic landscape offer a selection of campsites suited to both campervans and motorhomes. Most sites provide electric hook-ups, heated service buildings, and waste disposal points — essential comforts in the far north. Several are open year-round, with winter facilities including engine-heater posts and cleared pitches. Outside Kiruna itself, you will find quieter spots near lakes and national parks with generous space for larger vehicles.
Parking a larger vehicle in Kiruna is straightforward, with several options close to the city centre. Sweden's allemansrätten (right of public access) permits overnight stays in most rural lay-bys, but within built-up areas you should use designated parking. Look for signs indicating height and length restrictions. In winter, keep an eye out for snow-clearing schedules and always use engine-heater posts where available to protect your vehicle in sub-zero temperatures.
Patricia and Jorge were great, waiting at the airport when we arived and waiting 30mins at the return when we took a wrong turn. Helpful and friendly. Signed off the return easily and quickly. The van has character and plenty of Km but it was in perfect running order. I'd have no problem hiring from them again.
Frederick was lovely and the van was super. A lot of storage for a van plus a screen that separates the toilet from the shower which is much less of a mess. Big fridge and good cooking area and sink. The water pressure is very good so when you shower you get a really good pressure, having said that prepare to top up your water tank frequently. Lovely trip and a really well equipped and user friendly van layout would rent again!
Amazing experience! Jeremie has been so kind and helpful. The van is ideal, everything you need is there. Everything was smooth and easy. We will do the same again soon!
Amazing renter!
