Travel information
Renovation of Kvikkjokk Mountain Station 2026

During late winter 2026, some renovation work will take place at Kvikkjokks Fjällstation, which will result in certain limitations for your visit this winter. A limited number of self-catering rooms will be available to book. The restaurant is closed, but the café will be open, where you can also order a selection of simpler dishes. The shop will offer a small range of dry goods that you can prepare in the self-catering kitchen.

About the accommodation

One of the first tourists here was Carl von Linné, who visited Kvikkjokk in 1732 while journeying through Lapland. His poetic descriptions inspired others to visit one of the greatest treasures of the mountain world. Kvikkjokk is an ideal starting point for trips through the Sarek National Park

Female, male, and mixed dorms are available depending on availability. Bed linen is not included in the room price but can be rented.

Restaurant
In the restaurant, breakfast buffet, lunch, and an à la carte menu in the evening are served.

Great care is taken in the choice of ingredients, with a focus on locally produced products such as game, berries, and Arctic char. After dinner, you can look out over the Sarek mountains from our beautiful “Common Room” in the old building from 1928.

Experience Kvikkjokk
Kvikkjokk is one of the oldest Swedish settlements in Lapland. In the 17th century, the mountain village was a local metropolis and a center for processing silver ore from the mine in Alkavare in Sarek. During his Lapland journey, Carl von Linné arrived in the village in 1732 via the boat route from Jokkmokk. During the trip, he collected a substantial part of the material for his systematic mapping of the mountain flora.

Next to Kvikkjokk village there are four lookout mountains. Climbers have always been able to look out over the fjällrand delta in the conifer forest belt and participated closest to the village. In the vicinity of the village, botanists meet to see the rich flora, but no expert knowledge is required to enjoy the floral splendor.
