About the accommodation
The mountain cabin lies on a barren slope of the Kungsleden hiking trail that rises to the highest point of the trail, Tjäktja Pass. If you approach from the north in wintertime, keep your eyes open for wolverine tracks just before you reach the cabin.Read more
Wolverine frequently pass straight over the valley, so keep an eye open and you might also see one in the distance in its characteristic gallop.
Short distances to surrounding cabins allow you the time for an easy ascent west of the cabin. From here, you have vast views in every direction with rolling mountains to the west and the alpine landscape towards the Kebnekaise mountains to the south and east.
Many nice alpine ski tours start from here. If you dream of more than an alpine tour, a tour in the Sielmavagge Valley and onward to STF Nallo is recommended.
This is how it works in a mountain cabin
Our mountain cabins offer a simple and authentic stay in multi-bedded rooms with self catering. The rooms are different sizes with bunk beds and usually heated by gas stoves. On site you will be greeted by a cabin manager. As a guest you chop wood, fetch water from the stream or lake, wash up and clean up after youself.
