Originally a military facility, Gallivare Airport had an 800-meter airstrip which was extended to 1,350 meters in 1971. It was gradually extended to its current length and was widened to 45 meters.

Since you are already within the vicinity, then perhaps you should already visit the town which is known for its endless mines which are the most important source of iron in Europe. There are a couple of historical tracks which tourists should not miss such as the nearby town of Malmberget, 5 km north, where the mines are located. Then there’s also the Homestead Museum which offers a great insight on the history of the town and the nearby forests. It is also a perfect opportunity to see the Aurora Borealis, or the northern polar lights.

Winter sports, which are very common in Sweden are also a favorite in this area. Mount Dundret is a favorite destination because of its slopes which are perfect even for children. Those who are looking for accommodation can stay downtown or can stay at a holiday village below the mountain so they can ski as much as they want. There’s a 10-kilometer cross country skiing track prepared in Mount Dundret which makes for a more exciting journey.
