The adventures in Lofoten are endless. You can climb mountains straight from the fjords, experience the Norwegian culture and try arctic surfing.

Close to Tjautjas there’s a wonderful lake where you can ice-skate, make an outdoor meal and have an ice-swimming experience under the northern lights.

Are you a born adventurer?

Norrbotten is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering a wide range of activities. Enjoy everything from camping in the dramatic forests, to fishing on the many rivers. The snow-covered mountains provide a great setting for cross-country skiing and snowmobiling, making it the perfect place for an active lifestyle.

There are lots of community fireplaces in some beautiful spots around town. They supply the wood so all you need to bring are your friends and the sausages.

LKAB has several groups that organise events and fun activities. They also have cabins where you can enjoy the mountains, spot some reindeer, or relax in a Sauna.

There's more to experience beyond the Arctic Circle

Our region has a rich history and a diverse entertainment. The many bars an restaurants offer traditional cuisine and local beers, and all year round you can enjoy various music festivals and events.

Welcome to the North

Going north

When Alexander Cooke made the move from England to Gällivare, the biggest cultural difference was the unofficially mandatory Swedish coffee break “fika” and the open and understanding work culture.

“I’m always drawn to places that are different and Norrbotten seemed special with the wilderness, the long summer days, and the Northern Lights. I like the cozy small-town vibes. You feel at home, like a local.”

"Also, the fika and the warm, relaxed culture are awesome. You don't have that stressful pressure up here."

Everything starts with our people. With their special skills, characteristics, and backgrounds – they are the greatest asset and the solution to upcoming challenges. We believe in giving employees the opportunity to grow and thrive in a healthy career. To create something that matters.

Accepting the challenge

For Anna Hynynen, being part of the LKAB vision which aims to have a big impact on Sweden’s emissions means the world.

“As a geologist, my goal is to preserve our planet for generations to come while still providing us with the resources we need for functional society.”

"It's no secret that the mining industry has a big negative footprint, but in the mines, a positive change can have a large impact. I'm proud of being a part of a company that isn't scared of the challenges ahead."

We’re embarking on the biggest change in LKAB’s 130-year history, and that’s why we need you –courageous, committed, ready and able to take on the world’s greatest challenge. You are the key to making LKAB’s production carbon-free by 2045. Together, we can set a new world standard.
