Day 19 – 20: Abisko

Some tourist program at the end of our trip

by

Blick auf den Torneträsk

After the nights in the tent and in the sleeping bag in the cabins we enjoyed a bed with fresh bed linen. At the breakfast buffet we get soft eggs, ham, cheese, homemade jams, orange juice and: mmmmmh really good Swedish coffee! The evening menu doesn’t appeal to us this time, so we decide to […]

Day 17 – 18: Hunddalen – Katterat – Riksgränsen – Abisko

On the gravel road to Katterat and on to Rallarvegen

by

Rallarveien (Blick zurück)

Hooray, today the weather is actually more beautiful! We decide to go to Katterat already today, because first of all we don’t know how the weather will be tomorrow and secondly we already get some hut fever here … The mountains are lightly covered with snow, outside it’s only 3° C. While reading we wait […]

Day 11 – 13: Čáihnavagge – Čunojávri and two resting days

Cosy hike to the even more comfortable Čunojávri hut

by

Entlang des Čáihnajohka hinunter in das Čunovuopmi

In the morning we are still super tired from yesterday’s block field day. Actually we wanted to go over the Smáilerienpas to Lossi and from there through the Rienatvággi (Storsteinsfjellet) to Hunddalen, but the weather seems to be too unstable. Instead we go down to Čunojávri. Compared to the other huts on our tour the […]

Day 10: Skoaddejávri – Čáihnavagge

The infamous block field of Čáihnavagge

by

Blockfeld beim See 1094 (Blick zurück)

The day begins stormy, at least the sun is shining and with 10°C, it is not cold. Especially not when it’s uphill again right after the hut. We start at 8 o’clock and want to be in Čáihnavagge before the announced bad weather arrives. This means that we now descend from our 1100 m altitude […]

Day 9: Sitas – Skoaddejávri

Breakfast in Sitas and then up the wall

by

Elisabeth beim Schreiben des Tagebuchs in der Skoaddejávrihytta

Eggs sunny side up! Fried bacon! Bread! Coffee! Orange juice! Harald invites us for breakfast – can you imagine how happy we were after a week of muesli and freeze-dried food? Actually we shouldn’t have started too late today, but we gossip with Harald and the boys for a long time, have a great breakfast […]

Day 8: Baugevatnet – Sitas

Too few reindeer, too many electricity pylons and a cosy afternoon at the lake

by

Baugevatnet und Paurofjellet (von der anderen Seite)

We have to master a few meters of altitude in the morning. So we start the ascent shortly before 9, without breakfast. But before that we enjoy the view back. The first meters run along the lake Baugevatnet and as a morning surprise we see the first reindeer, this time they are older animals. We […]

Day 7: Pauro – Baugevatnet

On this night of a thousand stars

by

Zelten unterm Sternenhimmel (Baugevatnet)

After a very pleasant night in the hut we start after breakfast and cleaning at 9 am. The weather is sunny and warm again and the autumn fjäll shines with us. A last look back at the huts in Pauro. On the way we also see some snow grouses that are not shy at all. […]

Nordic reflections

Next stop: Pauro! We start fully motivated, with bright sunshine and also quite early in the morning, alarm clock at 7, at 8:15 we leave. The way leads along the lake – not too close to the lake, but also not too high on the slope is the motto and as always it is a […]

Day 5: Røysvatn – Kåbtåjaure

Lakes, reindeer and great views

by

Verträumte Wolken über dem Spadnejávrre

We slept so well – one night all alone in a cosy hut, in absolute seclusion. Our alarm clock goes off at 7.30 and we are really well rested. We pack our things, clean our little hut – you remember: leave it always more beautiful than you found it yourself. Emptying the sewage, fetching enough […]

Day 4: Gränsleden Sårgåjávrre – Røysvatnet

From the Gränsleden to the Nordkalottleden, without a sauna at all

by

Nach der Brücke über einen Zulauf des Sårgåjávrre

After we made good progress yesterday, we don’t have it very far to the hut today. The alarm clock rings at 7 a.m. so that we can get to the hut early and enjoy half a day in the hut. We dally a bit in the morning, but at 8:40 we starts. The first sunbeams […]
