Abisko / Nuolja reviews

The sissyboys at Nuolja do not operate the lifts if the temperature is more than -20c, however, that INCLUDES windchill!!!

We were there and the temperature was -16c but because of the windchill effect they would not run the lifts!!!

A wonderful unique in the Scandinavian mountain world. Unpretentious and stripped down but all the greater experience and focus on skiing. Good drop height in addition.

Only been there one day but that day was perhaps my best ski day, very playful terrain to explore but not many people.

A place you almost never thought existed. Discovered it by chance when we went up to Abisko to ski in Riksgränsen Easter 2021. An experience just to ride with the old lift, real ski nostalgia. Once up is a very nice and cozy top cottage and restaurant with a fantastic view of Abisko, Torneträsk and Lapporten. We drove a very affordable package with off-piste guiding and lift passes with a great guide from STF. Unfortunately, there had not been much snow in Abisko that season, so it was not a dream ride in knee-deep powder, but an absolutely fantastic nature experience with wonderful off-piste skiing in steep and untouched terrain, in almost no wind, some minus and radiant sun.

I think Abisko is a very beautiful place but those who decide there have not understood that the new thing is to have a motorhome. There is not a single place inside Abisko where you can stand, electricity is not even to think about, although there are any number of electric poles that are used in the winter.
A campsite that is not even open but full of caravans that stand all year round and are used mainly in the winter.
A tourist station without any parking for motorhomes, the reception thought we could stand in a parking lot along the E 10.
A big compliment to Abisko mountain Lodge where we had to stand for a couple of days in a parking lot and borrow a toilet and shower 😃.
I hope that those who decide in Abisko will remember that it is a different season than winter and that motorhomes will also feel welcome in this beautiful place.

Underestimated gem that many pass by on their way to the border. Go Rithunjira, Nåsan, Konvexen, fantastic nice steep yokes that beat most things. The lift admittedly takes 15-20 mins but it is worth it, in addition never a queue. Do not miss this!

Lovely scenery, fun walks with good hiking trails. Not tracked as in eg. Lake Grövelsjön, but here you go along the trail anyway. This means that the tours take a little longer than usual, but with food bags along the way it does nothing.

Sweden's "Castle Mountain, Alberta".

Small old lift, no people but great fun offpist that is very easily accessible.

I'm a big fan of "North American offpist think" (ie ropes and gates for offpiste within ski patrol controlled area). Each gate shows the avalanche in the area you are on your way to. With short slopes or short walks, you reach everything from steeple to a little easier offpiste that ends with beautiful woods at the end.

That there are only about 20-40 others outside playing on the mountain does not make it worse.

The ski patrol has a daily 2 hour guiding of the mountain for only 200kr (160 for stif member). Great way to quickly get into the ride on the mountain.

What does the ride around the elevator mean, so do you think it's pretty sad! The first part, the steep part, invites you. often go on a nice ride, but then you have the last bit, the transport line, back to the lift. This causes the ride to work quite quickly as it does not exactly honor any sustained 400-meter.

If we then stretch the skis on the sack or put the skins on the skis and brushes knock a bit, then a new world opens! The people who work and go to Abisko often get more or less driven top-class people, and first of all, what's so magical about the little ski resort with Sweden's slowest lift! :)

Rating: Skiing gets a strong 3rd to strong 4th depending on the weather and snow! A 5th if you absorb the whole experience of Abisko ... nice, helpful and knowledgeable people!

Unlike all others, I'm not sold at all :-(

The only stain on the rock that was not rocky was a piece of the pot to the west of the elevator where maybe 10 cm of wind-packed softening snow lay.

Noulja can certainly be wonderful, but it's not always. For my part, there was a four-day ride in Björkliden instead.
