Our last day at Abisko was a free day, so together with some other guests staying at the hotel we took a leisurely stroll through some woods and out onto the frozen Lake Tornetrask. From the lake there were open views towards Lapporten – an impressive U shaped valley to the south of Abisko. On the way back, we came across some climbers practicing ice climbing in the Abisko gorge.
That evening after dinner, part of our holiday itinerary was to take the chairlift to the top of the Abisko ski slopes to visit the mountain restaurant, with the hope of viewing the aurora from the top of the mountain. Unfortunately the night was cloudy, so nothing to see, but it was a little strange taking the chair lift at night in the bitter cold.
