Kiirunavaara was a large iron ore mine, historically significant for the development of Kiruna. However, mining operations ceased in 2018, and the mine is undergoing significant transformation due to the induced ground deformation. Accessibility is now heavily restricted due to ongoing urban transformation projects and safety concerns related to the mine's structural changes. Tours might be available via LKAB, the mining company, but visitors should confirm accessibility and safety protocols. Given the potential hazards, solo visits are strongly discouraged. Costs depend on tour availability, and visit duration is subject to the extent of accessible areas, which is rapidly decreasing. Check the latest safety and access guidelines before planning any visit.
