Today's trail, 19 km

photos from the hiking trail between Tuoddar and Staloluokta.

Today's trail doesn't offer any real difficulties, except maybe a small one right at the beginning when we need to ford a stream. There are duckboards laid out on the wetter parts down in the valleys, but otherwise it is a well beaten narrow dirt trail winding around stones and up and down small hills.


Water-crossing right after the cabins

Here we might have to put on our wading gear again. Could you make it with long shafted rubber boots? Maybe.

Still snow on the trail

This kind of barren, snowy scenery disappear when we descend from the tableland. And it really changes quite fast, so try to enjoy it while it lasts.

Bridge

This bridge crosses a rather fierce rapids down in the small gorge, it would be impossible to try to ford it. A very nice green area to have a break if you are not in a hurry or bothered by the mosquitoes.

Trail thru dense willow vegetation

The most difficult part of the trail comes after we cross the bridge. Sometimes we are surrounded by so much willows it is hard to see the trail, and this is a damp and mosquito friendly environment.

Looking back, we can see the rapids and the mountains behind

Super flat, easy to walk

Soon after the bridge there is a long, comfortable strech of open space. It really is a relief, but unfortunately it doesn't take too long before the willows will be back again with renewed power.

The mountain range of Sarek behind willows and hills

Some parts of the trail are easier to walk than others, but the scenery is always great! If you look back, the mountain range of Sarek is there for the entire day. And even though the willows can be a nuisance when walking in the midst of them, from a distance they form a soft silvery greenery well worth admiring.

Lake virihaure

Lake Virihaure. Here the trail makes an unnecessary long approach before we arrive at Staloluokta. Or so it feels after one has carried a heavy backpack for almost 20 km, a problem for independent hikers carrying tents and other stuff.
