Day 4
Tarrekaise - Såmmarlappa

13 km

The most cumbersome stretch along this hike.
A stream need to be forded, and at the end the trail gets a bit rocky.

Today's hike start in the same manner as we finished it yesterday. Birch forests. After about 4 km the forest becomes dryer, and soon we arrive to a stream. Depending on the water level, those hiking with high legged rubber boots could try their luck in reaching the opposite side with dry feet. If the water level is too high for that or you don't have suitable rubber boots, now is the time to put on your wading gear. I would tuck up my pants and change into sandals. If you don't have any previous experience of fording streams, this could be exciting!

On the other side of the stream the ground gets stony and dry, and blueberries and lingonberries give way to crowberries. After a short dip into a birch forest, the trail again continues on an open, dry alpine slope.

After a lunch break by a small lake, we now follow the trail into the birch forest again. This last part before we reach the Såmmarlappa cabins are by far the most difficult to walk during this whole trip. The trail gets very stony, and towards the end some stretches consist of large boulders. We haven't been close to the Tarra river earlier this day, but when we start to approach the cabins, the trail ones again touches the river.
