Due to the problem with the chairlifts in Riksgränsen, we have added extra departures from Riksgränsen to Björkliden between March 25 – March 28.

The extra bus takes 16 people and must be pre-booked. From Riksgränsen, the bus departs every half hour from Riksgränsen until 5:30 PM. Return trips are scheduled every hour from Björkliden starting at 9:00 AM.

Temporary snowmobile ban in Riksgränsen

The Kiruna Municipal Executive Committee's working committee has decided to introduce temporary snowmobile prohibition areas in:

• Riksgränsen: March 1 – June 30, 2026
• Björkliden: March 1st – May 31st, 2026

The decision has been made with support from the Off-Road Vehicle Act and applies within the areas shown in the municipality's map appendices.

What's up?

Snowmobile riding is not permitted within the restricted areas during the specified periods.

Exceptions apply, among others, for:

• Rescue service and mountain rescue
• Ambulance transport and critical societal functions
• Reindeer herding
• Property owners/cottage owners/tourism industry for transport to own property
• Ride on marked and signposted snowmobile trail

In Riksgränsen, it is permitted to use the existing machine lane between Riksgränsen and Katterjåkk. A posted speed limit of 30 km/h applies there.

We are responsible for clearly signing and marking the prohibited areas. The decision will be evaluated after the season.
