When the Arctic winter sets in, Riksgränsen and Katterjåkk transform into a snow-covered snowmobile and skiing heaven wonderland unlike anywhere else in Sweden. Located high above the Arctic Circle, the area is world-famous for its deep powder, remote wilderness, and unique mix of ski culture and raw nature.
