Lovikka is a small town renowned for its traditional Scandinavian handcraft — the Lovikka mittens. Crafted from felted wool yarn, these mittens epitomise warmth and comfort, uniquely designed to withstand the cold climate of Northern Sweden. Lovikka takes pride in its mittens, even hosting a small museum dedicated to its history and craftsmanship. In Lovikka, visitors can also marvel at the world's largest 'Lovikkavanten', a colossal Swedish glove standing at 3.5 meters, proudly documented in the Guinness Book of Records 2002. Authentic Lovikka gloves, still produced today, are available for purchase, allowing visitors to take home a piece of this rich craft tradition.

Light plays a central role in this part of Sweden. The winter nights are lit up thanks to the dazzling Northern Lights that flow over the sky in different colours. If you are really quiet you can hear how they crackle. While during the summer months, the nights never get dark thanks to the midnight sun squandering its light.

Food trucks and scenic views, including stunning sunsets, add to the experience. Its mix of preserved nature and functional spaces creates a welcoming environment for all ages.

The Great Grey Owl is a staggering 2.5 m tall Great Grey Owl, carved of wood. It was adopted as the symbol of Pajala in 1995. The owl was threatened with extinction in the early 1970s and the only nesting sites were to be found here in the Pajala commune.
