Sarek National Park
Mountains higher than 2,000 metres and almost 100 glaciers. Long, deep, narrow valleys and wild, turbulent waters. A tortuous delta landscape. A high alpine area where the Sami people have lived from time immemorial.

Wildlife - With luck you can catch sight of bears, wolverines, lynx or some of the unusually large elk.
