Gallivare does have something more to offer than its endless mines that are the most important source of iron in Europe. Although the city probably does not bear anymore the charm it had during the 17th century, there are a few interesting historical tracks in the old town worth exploring. The Homestead Museum offers a good insight into both the history of the town and the surrounding forested area. Of course, this is your chance par excellence to chase the northern light and experience the unspoilt scenery. During winter time, it's an excellent place to go to when you want to indulge in whatever type of sports.
