About the accommodation

Welcome to STF Helags Mountain Station – one of the most magnificent places in the Swedish mountains, with panoramic views of Helags peak, 1,797 meters above sea level, and Sweden’s southernmost glacier.

View details

Already in 1897, the first cabin was built here to make the ascent of the peak easier – a 750-meter climb. Today, both skiers and hikers are drawn here by the dramatic nature, challenging tours, and our welcoming mountain station with delicious food, sauna, and a shop.

Despite the high elevation, summers here are surprisingly rich in blooming flora. Perhaps that’s why the arctic fox thrives – Helags is one of the strongest strongholds for this endangered species in Sweden.

We offer cozy four-bed rooms in our two guest cabins, Sunnan and Nordan – with dog-friendly rooms available in Nordan. For those who prefer simpler travel, there are shared rooms with four or eight beds.

If you’re looking for a more rustic and authentic stay, we recommend Gamla Östan – our wood-heated cabin with one five-bed room and one nine-bed room, offering a charming mountain atmosphere.

During the season, we serve breakfast buffet, lunch, and dinner every day. Enjoy a warming soup or crispy waffles for lunch and end the day with a dinner made from local ingredients – such as Arctic char or reindeer. Of course, we also offer home-baked fika for those just stopping by.

In our shop you’ll find sweets, snacks, simple self-catering meals, hygiene products, STF merchandise, and basic sports equipment. We also rent out tents, sleeping bags, sleeping pads, and thermoses. Pre-booking is recommended – contact us at helags@stfturist.se to check availability.

We recommend using the Mountain Safety Council’s wind meter and webcam when planning your trip to Helags.

A warm welcome to STF Helags Mountain Station.
