Spring and winter have arrived in Gällivare, and more and more people flock outdoors where the sun shows itself. Only eight minutes from the city is the mountain Dundret, which offers corduroy skiing on the slopes and 100 cm deep snow outside the ski resort. Sports holiday activities are arranged for families and continuously updated in Gällivare's activity and event calendar.

In Laponia's beautiful mountain world, the popular Kungsleden has its mountain cabins staffed until the end of April. For those who want to get to know the Sámi culture and the beautiful nature within the world heritage, Naturum Laponia in Stora Sjöfallets National Park has opened for the season.

The recurring winter market is arranged in central Gällivare. You will find a wide range of Sámi crafts, textiles, and food products here. An excellent opportunity to taste Gáhkku (Sámi flatbread) or Suovas (salted and smoked reindeer meat).
