What happens if I have to cancel?
– If it is more than 60 days before activity, you only pay the deposit of 1500 SEK. Read the booking conditions here

I don’t have equipment, what should I do?
– I always recommend Outdoorbuddies to rent equipment, they have a good selection. I also live next door to them and can therefore help with logistics and other mediation if needed. If you want to buy equipment, I am available for consultation and advice!

I’m not sure if I’m properly prepared, how can I tell?
– Book an appointment for consultation and we will look at the appropriate activity for your needs, we try to be flexible and adaptable to our common goals, everyone should feel welcome!

What happens if the weather is bad in luck or ahead of a trip?
If the weather is so bad that it risks our security, we primarily change the route to better alternatives or adjust timeframes etc. However, weather is part of staying in the mountains so this is something you need to take into account. The last resort is cancellation of the trip but it would take a lot. In that case, it will be rescheduled to another date after dialogue with you.

Can I book a private tour? (1-2 guests)
– Absolutely! Write to info@fjallkloka.se for a quote.

What happens if I miss the start time of the tour?
– This depends entirely on what activity it is but it is the guest’s responsibility to arrive on time and we can not wait so no refund can be made. But let us know well in advance and we will try to solve it as best we can.

Before trip

Digital meeting before trip that takes place end of July.
Duration: 2 hours with pause.

Day 1

We meet in the lobby of Nikkaluokta Sarri and after presentations and a brief intro we start hiking west towards Kebnekaise mountain station. Light terrain and mostly flat, but 18 km as most of the day is spent. The iconic Tolpagorni with its notorious volcanic profile is what the horizon is dominated by as we get closer to the station. Once at STF Kebnekaise we have dinner in the restaurant, maybe a little nice “before hike” hang in the lounge. We load with calories and prepare for the real start of the adventure.

Day 2

We get up when the morning light has already settled over the valley and during breakfast we go through the map and the tour we will proceed with. We have safety briefing and a few words about what the days will include, then it is time for the first stage that will take us to up to one of the most iconic alpine locations Sweden has to offer, Tarfala! The road takes us back along the trail and then we break north along the tight valley Tarfalavaggi. The landscape begins in dense vegetation but is becoming increasingly alpine and the ground is covered more and more by beautiful and stubborn Isranunkel. If we have the weather with us, we get a really beautiful view of Kebnekaise with its 3 glaciers, the Storglaciären, Isfallsglaciären and the Kebnepakte glacier. From here we see both Kebnekaises south and north summits. The trail to Tarfalastugan is less than 8 km, which we’ll reach in time for lunch.

In the afternoon we have the opportunity to really get close contact with a glacier, and we have the good fortune to choose from the options! Tarfala is rocky and barren, which can make tenting a challenge. We enjoy the cottage’s beds one last night before we dedicate ourselves to tents for the rest of the trip

Day 3

Today we start early, when we have many altitude meters, and 15 kilometers to hike. The road takes us over and around the barren Tarfalatjåkkå, we have a little luck we get an extra challenge with worse visibility so we can practice navigation for real! We head north down to Kaskavagge, and cross the valley on to Vistas where we make camps at the beautiful Vistasjåkken.

Today we focus on navigation, touring technique, leadership in case studies and how we hold together a group securely in foreign and changing environments. The goal is increased decision-making and better judgment to create good conditions for the mountains.

Day 4

After the morning check-in, we have the opportunity to have breakfast down at Vistas glacier-colored water. We walk along Vistasdalen a little over 4km until we arrive at the STF cottage where we have the opportunity for some coffee, forecast cheque and maybe meet others out on the trails. Then, however, we turn off from here, head west and take aim at Nallo, about 9km away. Here our tour is once again becoming more alpine in nature as we enter the slightly more isolated areas around Kebnekaise. In Sweden it is almost never a problem with altitude sickness but if you are interested in getting up to a little higher altitudes in maybe the Alps or the Himalayas, we will also discuss a little on the subject and what you need to think about. Already at the beginning of this valley we have Nallos impressive profile in front of us, and we pitch the tents near Nallostugan and take it easy the rest of the day.

Day X

This day is flexible in the itinerary. Is it nice weather and we feel strong, we can do a trip around the mountain Nallo at a little higher altitude. We get a lot of views and also get in close contact with, among other things, Tjäktjatjåkka glaciären. If you need a rest day, you can also stay in the camp today. Camera is highly recommended, but of course you also get pictures after the tour.

The great thing here is that Day X is to give us proper flexibility during the tour. Day 5 can be used as day X, but it could also be day 3, back in Tarfala. Depending on the weather, forecast and what the group feels like, we have great freedom to decide what we want to do.

Day 6

On the sixth day and now we are embarking on the rocky and alpine valley Unna Räitasvaggi. The day offers exercises in water crossing technique, and close contact with yet another impressive glacier, the Vaktposten Glacier. In the middle of the valley we have the opportunity to lunch in a windshelter. The landscape is dramatic, and offers continued practice in leadership and micronavigation.

The goal for the day, and our last night is the same beautiful tent place we started with down in Vistasvalley. When we arrive, we have walked in a circle around the great Räitamassive, and you can put a feather in your hat for visiting some of Sweden’s alpine areas.

Day 7

From here it starts to feel like the final stretch but we’re not quite done yet. Vistasdalen offers fantastic views with many surrounding peaks. We move south through the green landscape along Vistasjåkka and take aim towards Nikkaluokta. 15 kilometers later we come down to the boatplace. We have coffee and wait for the boat before we get a ride along the river. Once in Nikkaluokta we have a little more evaluation and look back on an adventure you will not soon forget. Well implemented and maybe thoughts of the next adventure are already beginning to form. Hugs and goodbye when the bus picks us up and takes us to Kiruna and on.

*Please note that planning may change both before and during the trip based on the current conditions*

This is a long and demanding tour in vulnerable environments. You need to have adequate fitness and know that you can handle the terrain. The trip involves quite long parts of rocky block terrain. There are also a few water crossings. But you don’t need any special skills. See it as a tougher hike.

Food planning:

• We will have dinner and breakfast at STF Kebnekaise but for the rest of the trip you need to bring all the meals yourself.

The lunch breaks will be pretty short on this tour, about 30-60 minutes. You are advised to be familiar with your kitchen. Lunch that doesn’t need to be cooked is also a good idea. You will always have time for dinner.

It is possible to rent equipment, contact for details.

If you have boots, make sure they are properly walked in, and waxed.

After booking, you will receive an invitation to a digital meeting for the trip that will be held at the end of July.
