About the accommodation

STF Viterskalet lies in the middle of the magnificent U-shaped valley that cuts across the entire width of Storfjället. It is the southernmost cabin on the Kungsleden trail, which starts or ends in Hemavan. The first cabin in Viterskalet was built as early as 1925.

View details

There are a total of 32 guest beds. The large cabin has two eight-bed rooms and two four-bed rooms, a large kitchen in the middle, a washroom and a drying room. The small cabin has two four-bed rooms, a kitchen with space for day visitors, a well-stocked shop (Large selection) and the host’s quarters. You may stay with your dog in the small cabin and in the four-bed room in the large cabin that also serves as a safety room.

The area is a paradise for summit tours and telemark skiing. There are several peaks to conquer, and on Dalåijvies and Norra Sytertoppen there are summit logbooks where you can record your achievements.
