Collapsed bridge along Gränsleden / Rádjebálges

The bridge over the Ubmasjåhkå stream along Gränsleden has collapsed and is completely unusable until further notice. This has a major impact on Gränsleden / Rádjebálges between Ritsem and the Norwegian Sörfjorden in Tysfjord municipality. Gällivare municipality strongly advises against any attempt to wade across the stream, as high water levels may pose a risk to life and health.

Alternative routes in the area: From Ritsem, you can instead choose the route north toward Sitasjaure and Hukejaure, and then connect to the Nordkalottleden trail toward Gautelishyttan. Another option is to take the boat from Ritsem across Ahkkajaure to Vaisaluokta. From there, follow the lake to its western end, connect to the Nordkalottleden trail, and either cross the Norwegian border toward Hellemobotn or follow the section of the trail that heads north to Røysvatnhytta.

About the accommodation

Hukejaure is a mountain cabin located on the Nordkalottleden hiking trail, west of Sälka and Kungsleden. The area around Hukejaure is a glorious barren and undulating landscape with challenging terrain. Fishing is good throughout the area, both in summer and in Winter.

View details

The fishing in the whole area is good, both summer and winter.
Parts of the nearby surroundings are comprised of large rocky terrain. Your imagination is easily tempted to think about stone-throwing giants and what is hiding behind the next big stone – made for creating stories if you succeed in getting the kids all the way here. If you’re truly lucky, you can come across snowy owl and artic fox in the region. And of course, do an outing to Ivarsten, a boundary stone near Norway with royal inscriptions.

Please note that you can only pay with cash at this mountain cabin. Paying with Swish or debit card will not be possible.

This is how it works in a mountain cabin

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.
