The nature of Arjeplog offers opportunities for many outdoor activities at all times of the year. We also have a rich association life where you can make new friends and gain experiences.
Here we live with our seasons.
Arjeplog’s winter has a lot to offer. There are, of course, good opportunities for skiing both cross-country and downhill, or more fast-paced activities such as dog sledding and snowmobile safaris. But don’t rush, you just need to be here to experience.
Spring in these latitudes is like no other. The darkness has given way and the light is on its way. It’s hard to beat that, with an ice fishing rod in your hand, you can enjoy yourself stretched out on a reindeer skin on a vast lake ice in the spring sun.
Arjeplog’s summers are nature at full speed thanks to the midnight sun. Fish in one of the 8,727 lakes, travel by canoe in a roaring river or hike in one of our many nature reserves.
Autumn in Arjeplog is a time for collecting and hunting. Then it’s time to stock up on winter storage. Nature offers sparkling colors and frost-clear days without mosquitoes.
Arjeplog has proud traditions in sports and medalists from both the Olympics and the World Championships in several different sports.
Some of the medals we have won include gold medals in arm wrestling (VM, EM, SM), sled dog (VM, EM, SM), snowcross (VM, EM), 30 km skiing (SM), ice racing (SM), snowracer (SM), rallycross (SM), flyweight wrestling (SM), ski relay (SM), biathlon (OS, SM), volleyball (SM), speedway (SM), aircombat (SM), as well as men’s and women’s victories in Vasaloppet.
There are good opportunities here for both training and competing

What doesn’t already exist in a small place, we create ourselves.
We therefore have a wide range of associations and clubs.
You can also start your own association if it is not already here. There are funds to apply for through the municipality or Leader Lapland to develop new ideas.
Here are examples of some of our associations:
