2 DESTINATIONS OF SWEDISH LAPLAND JOKKMOKK jok k mok k i s won de r fu l , rich in contrast and challenging. In this vast part of Swedish Lapland there are just over five Welcome thousand people in an area as big as half of Switzerland. Here you’ll find large forests, marshes and an unparalleled mountain region. Sarek might be the most mythical of the to Jokkmokk four national parks, but Padjelanta, Stora Sjöfallet and Mud- dus are equally as loved. Every park has its natural treasures. WE HAVE A PLACE FOR EVERYONE Sámi culture with its ancient – and modern – traditions is strongly anchored here. The Arctic summer is short but intense. Cranes and geese arrive with the light, together with swans and curlews. They don’t mind if there’s still snow left on the ground. The won- derfully hectic summer is as dizzying every year. The noise in the forest is almost deafening. Everything grows quickly, meltwater thunders over rapids and children jump around cheering happily, with or without wellies. Everyone is in a hurry to get everything done. Fish for trout. Take a hike in the mountains. Pick cloudberries. Brand reindeer calves, parties, events and birdwatching – the list goes on. And in the midst of all this: the light summer nights – a solace for the soul. The continental climate gives us heat waves from the east with temperatures of up to 25-30 degrees, but also icy winds and rain sweeping in from the north-west. The contrasts are part of the adventure. Get close to all these contrasts: between forest and bare mountain, urban life and wilderness, high-tech and inheri- ted knowledge, between the domesticated and the wild. In Jokkmokk you can still feel like an explorer and expe- rience things others never get a chance to try. Just remember to plan your trip a little bit more than if you were going somewhere populous and touristy. Book the things you really want to experience in advance.

What you’ll probably remember most are the people Richardson Graeme Photo: you’ll met. All the conversations where your shared expe- riences will create new insights. Perhaps your meeting with Jokkmokk might change the way you view the world a little. Who knows what life has in store. TURISTINFORMATION ”Buoris boahtem Jåhkåmåkkaj!/ Buresboahtin Jåhkåmåhkkái!” *

Water bottle (fill it in brooks and running water) Matches. Whatever food you need, perhaps some extra energy bars. Water- proof clothing. Packing for a multi-day trip: make sure you have broken-in shoes, layered clothing and a good backpack. Take the advice provided by your mountain guide. Please note! Don’t expect any mobile coverage outside the trails, especially not in Sarek. It’s a good idea to fill out a travel plan before you head out.

Perfect for shorter day trips or Padjelanta national park. Here you a proper run.

The so-called Terjemilen trail goes through a forest of large pines, with footbridges over marshland and some really challenging slopes. It’s an excellent choice for a day hike. If you’d rather go for a run and are reasonably well trained you can do it in an hour. Remember to close the gates behind you in the reindeer enclosu- re or walk around it if you see there are reindeer inside. (9.1 km) The Margitbergsslingan takes you to the top of the mountain Margitberget. The trail can sometimes be tricky to follow. Look for the blue plate washers. Up on the plateau the trail is easy with nice and dry pine heath forest. It connects to the Terjemilen. (5.8 km) Kvarnbäcksleden starts by Lake Skabram, passes through residential areas in Jokkmokk past Lake Talvatis and descends towards the Lule River. Along the trail boards provide information about nature and culture. (7.7 km) Bryllesvängen takes you along forest roads, paths and illumina- ted trails. If the weather is nice you can take a detour past Stork- nabben, the views are wide and spectacular. Make sure you follow signs for Bryllesvängen, otherwise you may accidentally end up on a steeper path. Walk the trail clockwise. (8.2 km) The path to Klipptjärn is the shortest way to reach the picnic area at Klipptjärn. It’s a well-worn path, pretty level. (1.6 km). On the way back you can choose South or North Åsleden (1.1 km or 0.8 km), two short but hilly paths through the forest. You glimpse a good view from time to time. This hike is also suitable for the younger hikers. Getbergsstigen will get you to the mountain Getberget after a pretty steep climb. The path continues, either down a long ridge in lovely pine forest towards Klipptjärn, or up to the top of Getberget. The view is worth the trouble. Along Getberget’s forest-clad ridge there’s a path leading north-west. At the end of the ridge the landscape opens up again. If it’s a clear day you can see the snow-capped peaks of the Kvikkjokk mountains in the distance. (2.2 – 4.4 km) www.jokkmokk.se/uppleva-gora/friluftsliv/vandring Photo: istockohoto.com Photo:

Welcome to Sweden’s Arctic destination! In Swedish Lapland you will find unique arctic experiences. Thanks to the warm Gulf Stream, here high up by the Arctic Circle, you can experience seasons with great contrasts between polar nights with sparkling northern lights in a white winter landscape and warm summers filled with swimming and hundred days without night under the midnight sun. In the east – a 300-km coastal stretch facing the world’s largest brackish water archipelago, with thousands of islands. Sandy beaches, fishing camps and unique produce. In the west – vast mountains, brooks with water so clean you can drink from them and lots of adventures around the corner. In between the quiet, enigmatic, open-handed forest and river valleys from Skellefte River in the south to Torne River in the north-east, all with their unique distinctive characteris- tics to offer. Traditions and cultures are strong here, and love of nature is even stronger. This is our everyday-life, and we invite you to share it with us. www.swedishlapland.com
