Gåsen - Stensdalen

It’s only a short initial ascent from the closed STF Gåsen Mountain Cabin to the highest point in this stretch. From there it’s an easy downhill walk. The Sjtäntja mountain shelter is just under halfway. After that, you leave the heath and continue along the Sjtänja and Tubbeke slopes.

The last two kilometres of your walk go through mountain birch forest. You cross the bridge over the Stensån River and reach STF Stensdalen Mountain Cabin on the other side – in its beautiful setting in the mountain birch forest off the beaten track. The Sámis who have lived – and still live – here used to go to school right here in Stensdalen.

Reindeer herding is practiced in this area, thank you for showing consideration! Learn more about how to avoid disturbing the reindeer.
