Go for a walk along the river. You can start at the Heritage area and work your way towards the railway and then across to the Lapp quarters which makes for a lovely walk on a sunny day and gives you lots of local history.

Travel Tips for Gällivare
Snowmobile safari
Several companies in the area offer snowmobile tours of anything from 1,5 hours to full days depending on what you are prepared to pay and what you would like to see. There are short tours just giving you a flavour of snowmobile driving, longer tours to take you into the countryside, or evening tours to spot northern lights. Some include a stop for hot drinks or even a meal somewhere in the countryside and most pick you up at your hotel. You can often drive the snowmobile yourself (as long as you have a driving license) although you don't have to - the organisers can do the driving if you like which makes it good if, for instance, you want to bring children along.
You can also do what the locals do and use the snowmobile tracks along the Vassara River if you manage to rent a snowmobile instead. The organisers should provide you with warm overalls and gloves.
Tobogganing
Children can sometimes borrow toboggans from the ski centre in the Dundret slopes but otherwise the sport shop in the city centre should sell them cheap. Dundret was full of skiers to avoid but we still found a toboggan-friendly hill or two. It just got quite dark on a mid-winter afternoon as it's not floodlit like the ski slopes :)))
Kaitum
Some 40 minutes north-west of Gällivare, towards Kiruna, is the village of Kaitum which is a Sami village and therefore is the local centre for Sami handicraft. Moreover, there is a famous chapel here by Anders Labba, in honour of UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskiöld who loved it up here. It was built in 1964 in the shape of a Sami tent. To get here by public transport, you need to catch a Kiruna train but not the night trains from Stockholm as the village is far too small for those to stop (see website below).
'Gropen' in Malmberget. This...
'Gropen' in Malmberget. This is a big hole in the ground in the middle of Malmberget. It's caused by the mine and separates the town in two parts. Today it's ~250 metres deep, and growing.
To me it gives a bittersweet feeling because the mine which keeps Gällivare/Malmberget going also is destroying it.
