Easiest routeHike

Sarektjåkkå is the second highest mountain in Sweden and the highest mountain in the Laponian area at 2,089 metres AMSL. The mountain is located close to the eastern border of Sarek National Park, about 23 kilometres south-west of Suorva.

Climbing

Sarektjåkkå is not easily accessible by any nearby roads, so the approach normally takes a day or more of backcountry hiking. Summitting is a moderate hike up, but the route is rather exposed.
