Guided by Nature for PC

Explore beautiful Abisko National Park at your own pace, while learning about the plants and animals that live in Sweden’s Arctic landscape. With Guided by Nature, you can independently follow carefully-designed routes through birch forest and wildflower-filled mires, along glacier-fed rivers and up to the top of Mount Nuolja. When you reach a landmark or a point of interest, Guided By Nature will automatically prompt you to listen. From reindeer and arctic bumblebees to the mythical northern lights, on these journeys you’ll hear about the region’s fascinating history, geology, botany and pioneering scientific research.

Together, we’ll explore how life survives in an environment that spends its winters frozen and blanketed in snow, and spends its summer months bathed in 24-hour daylight. You’ll also get the chance to become a citizen scientist simply by observing and photographing the plants around as you walk. This will become part of long-term climate change scientific research working to understand how this region of Sweden is changing – all you need is your phone.

Guided by Nature offers a range of hiking trails for all abilities, and differing adventures for both summer and winter explorations of the national park. Guided walks are available in English and Swedish. Guided by Nature is a registered charity in Sweden (802539-7186). This project is supported by LONA, and project partners are Umea University, Climate Impact Research Centre, Naturum Abisko and STF Abisko Tourist Station.
