Day 3
Njunjes - Tarrekaise

6 km

A short hike with some ups and downs in the beginning, followed by a small alpine plateau, and finished with birch forests and flowering fields.

Today's hike begin with a strenuous climb right after we enter the humid grounds of the birch forest, just a few hundred meters from the Njunjes cabin. As we push ourselves further up the hillside on the narrow and winding trail, the sumptuous vegetation covering the ground is surprising us again as if placed here by mistake.

After about 1 km of hilly jungel trails, we reach a plateau again with an alpine character. This is at the river bend, and from here we can see a new set of mountains that will be in front of us until day 5. On the other side of the bend, the trail again descends down to the valley. The last 4 km to the Tarrekaise cabin, we walk through humid birch forests and flowering fields.

An ancient Saami sacrificial ground can be reached shortly after the descent from the alpine plateau. It is clearly visible from the trail and in addition to being interesting on its own, the slopes up to the place are botanically interesting.

Today the trail becomes more stony, and it is not as easy to walk as the previous day between Kvikkjokk and Njunjes.
