The perfect mix
The business life is rich, with everything from skiing to inside. We have a reputable armbreaker club that has taken several world championships. Every summer, a dedicated football club is under way. We have two ski tracks at the resort, two disc golf courses, stepped paths up tops with mild views, barbecue sites in the most beautiful scenery and walks on two kilometers of roaring water. There is always something to do for the family.
Culture and Commitment
Since 1642 we have had a Winter Market outside the church in Arjeplog. It was Queen Kristina who decided that a market would be held here, and that a church, Sofia Magdalena, would be built, on the site where today’s church stands. The beautiful, pink-colored dirty-covered church gained its present formation in the late 19th century.
On the other side of the square, just a stone’s throw away, lies the Silver Museum, the culmination of the Doctor Einar Wallquists collections. The museum was opened in 1965, filled with the cultural objects he so insightfully collected during his long career.
Today, the museum is also an office for INSARC, the Institute for Arctic Landscaping.
Arjeplog is a friendly and welcoming people who want nothing but to share their nature, their society and their everyday lives with new people.
