Jokkmokk Winter Market – one of the world’s oldest annual markets<\/strong>
Jokkmokk has been a vibrant meeting place since the early 1600s, when the first market, which brought together Sami people, settlers, fur hunters, tax collectors, and merchants, came into being.<\/p>\n

The 420th market will be held during the first weekend of February 2025. We expect 50,000 visitors from around the world! Welcome to join us – to share our Arctic everyday life! <\/p>\n

Experience Sami Culture<\/strong>
\u00c1jtte is the premier museum for Sami culture and a specialized museum for the mountain region. At the museum, you can see exhibitions about Sami culture – about costumes and silver, religion and mythology, and how people have adapted to life in a land without roads. During summer, Jokkmokk’s Mountain Garden is an oasis by Lake Talvatis. Gently trodden paths take us through various natural environments that house the region’s flora. A truly remarkable and unique place for anyone interested in mountain flora! <\/p>\n

Explore the Beautiful Nature<\/strong>
Hike through mountains and forests, paddle in crystal-clear lakes or
admire the northern lights in the dark winter sky. Jokkmokk offers an extraordinary nature experience. The magnificent Sarek National Park with its high snow-covered peaks and many glaciers, Badjel\u00e1nnda with its large beautiful lakes, Stora Sj\u00f6fallet\/Stuor Muorke with the wonderful mountain \u00c1hkk\u00e1 and the primeval forests in Muddus\/Muttos. And they are all part of the unique UNESCO World Heritage Site Laponia. <\/p>\n

Jokkmokk – A Place of Contrasts<\/strong>
Jokkmokk has something to offer year-round. Come in summer and hike under the midnight sun, enjoy the autumn colors during fall, go world-class skiing in winter, and experience the magical northern lights <\/p>\n
