Must See Sweden - Sarek National Park

The magical landscape of Sarek National Park covers an area of 2000 sq km (780 sq mi). It comprises 100 glaciers and countless peaks, a handful of which are over 2000m (6560ft) high. This is beautiful yet demanding country, only for the tough and experienced (who will need to do their homework thoroughly).

Perhaps the best views are over the lake and delta of Laiture on the Rapa älv, not far from the eastern boundary of the park. There are no huts and few bridges, but the route is popular with experienced hikers, who take a week or more to get in and out. The most common entry point is from the south from Kvikkjokk Fjällstation, which is serviced by bus from Jokkmokk.
