General presentation
Sarek et Padjelanta
Glacier, roadless valleys and Sami culture form one of the most demanding wild sets in Europe.
Sarek National Park, Padjelanta National Park and Skierffe give the most telling landmarks of Sarek and Padjelanta. Together, they form a destination where mountain reliefs and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

For a stay of 6 to 12 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
