Ice climbing is one of the most popular activities to do in Abisko because it is one of Sweden’s best places to do ice climbing with a lot of different icefalls for beginners as well as experienced ice climbers. The many icefalls and the beautiful surroundings with the Abisko Mountains and the lake Torneträsk is some of the reasons why ice climbing in Abisko is so spectacular.
