Camp Ripan in Kiruna
We are a hotel, but a rather unusual one. Kiruna municipality covers a great deal of land, so there is plenty of room to build outwards instead of upwards. This is why our beautiful and comfortable hotel rooms are cosy cabins with private entrances, showers and WC. Quite simply your own private oasis close to all the amenities.
Kiruna has just about everything, from a majestic mountain landscape to exciting architectural history, from the midnight sun to northern lights, from snowy winter dog sled tours to summertime Icelandic horseback riding tours, and everything in between. We want to give you the very best Kiruna has to offer as far as adventures, opportunities and experiences – right when you decide to visit us.
And after an entire day outdoors, or in a conference room, what could be better than relaxing in our Aurora Spa and letting the day’s activities slowly melt away as you pamper yourself with a relaxing sauna bath, foot bath, beneficial spa products and a refreshing dip in the pool? Take advantage of rounding off the evening in our restaurant where the fantastic regional fresh produce is transformed into delectable culinary experiences.
All this and so much more is what you will find at Camp Ripan. When we built this fantastic place to what it is today, we all agreed on one thing – to dig where we stand and focus on the best Kiruna has to offer. And that is the principle that influences every aspect of our operations and is the foundation of how we think as far as our environmental work, décor and design. We didn’t want our establishment to look like a hotel you find everywhere else in the world, we wanted an expression that captured the spirit of Kiruna.
It is from the three cultures of Kiruna – the Swedish, the Sami and the Torne Valley Finish – intertwined with nature’s own richly contrasting colours and shapes that we have found our inspiration.
Design, décor and choice of materials always instil a sense of purity and simplicity, reflecting the nature, culture and atmosphere of this mountain city. The main building’s high panorama windows offer wonderful unobstructed views, similar to the open mountain landscape that allows your eyes to rest on the far-off horizon. Appropriately placed at the centre of our grand entry hall is an open fireplace. The warming, life-giving and mesmerizing fire created the conditions for our forefathers to survive in this often quite harsh sub-arctic environment.
