Dressing for winter
In early February, temperatures in Luleå are typically well below freezing. For outdoor activities such as dog sledding or the Jokkmokk winter market, we strongly recommend dressing in layers: thermal base layers, an insulating mid-layer (wool or fleece), and a windproof winter jacket. Warm winter boots, insulated gloves, a hat, and a scarf are essential.Pictures
