Within the commune of Kiruna, though some 90km/56mi west of the town itself, is Sweden's highest mountain, Kebnekaise (2,117m/6,946ft). The ascent of the south peak takes about eight-nine hours and should be undertaken only by experienced and properly equipped climbers. In a high valley on the slopes of Keipack (789m/2589ft) can be found the Kebnekaise climbing hut.
