In Malmberget, 5km north of Gällivare, Kåkstan is a historical ‘shanty town’ museum village, dating from the 1888 iron-ore rush. Contact the Gällivare tourist office for details of the LKAB iron-ore mine tour (Skr250; tours 9.30am-1pm mid-Jun–mid-Aug, by appointment in winter), which takes you down on a bus.
