The walk is challenging as the trail goes up and down. There are several hundred metres’ climb between the hollows and the plateaus. The area has a character all of its own, featuring a lot of smaller villages, cabins and crofts, unlike other parts of the Kungsleden trail. There are some more extensive boat trips available on this stretch, and you can book on the spot.
The Svaipa bird conservation area is particularly interesting to ornithologists, and walking over the Björkfjällets prairie-like plains does nothing if not expand your horizons. The final straight towards Ammarnäs is over a long ridge with a fantastic view over the river valley.
