About us

Kiruna Guidetur is one of the largest guide companies in Kiruna and has been around for 30 years. Since the start, our focus has been on small groups and personal experiences. Our goal is to offer small groups a personal service and a genuine experience of Kiruna and Lapland. We offer a wide variety of tours in the nature around Kiruna such as snowmobiles, skis, snowshoes, ice fishing, and of course a hunt for the Northern Lights, which is the highlight and dream for many of our guests.

We work with many local operators and travel agencies from all over the world and plan guests' journeys from transfers to hotels and tours. The company is constantly expanding, and we welcome different approaches and new ideas.

As an employee with us, you get the opportunity to develop in your work role and try different areas of work together with colleagues from around the world. Enjoying ourselves and having fun at work is important to us, which is why we encourage initiatives for staff activities and organize a bunch of them during the season. Accommodation can be difficult to find in Kiruna, and we therefore offer our employees staff accommodation.

About the job

Aurora Camp in Kurravaara is a unique accommodation 15km outside Kiruna where we welcome guests from all over the world to stay overnight close to nature. The camp is located in the woods next to the remarkable Torne River.

As a cabin host at Aurora Camp, you will receive guests for check-in, clean the cabins, maintain igloos, and make dinner for our guests. You will also drive snowmobiles on a daily basis and help out with transfers.

Our focus is to offer small groups a personal service and a genuine experience of Kiruna and Lapland. We offer a large number of different tours in nature around Kiruna such as snowmobiles, skis, snowshoes, ice fishing, and of course a hunt for the Northern Lights, which is the highlight and dream for many of our guests.

The work as a cabin host is varied and includes driving a snowmobile, so you need to have a driver's certificate for snowmobiles at the start. This is something we can help arrange at your own expense.

The work is mostly done outdoors and also involves some physical work such as snow shoveling and maintenance of igloos. Being interested in culture and the Northern Lights is a plus, as guests ask many questions about this.
