Day 6 & 7
Tarraluoppal - Tuoddar

11 km

The Padjelanta highland is a different experience all together compared with the previous days.

Today will start with a 300 m ascent up to the Padjelanta tableland. Little by little, the higher we get, the surrounding landscape changes its character. The crowberries, playing an important part of the scenery for so long, disappear and give way to an even more barren landscape with grassy fields. The valley is far below, the view opens up and we can see high peaks all around us.

The trail is again very easy to hike. We walk past numerous small lakes and up and down on low hills, and many of the birds and plants we encounter are new acquaintances. There will be snow left on the ground and some lake shores are still covered with ice. Now we can also expect to see reindeers.

If the mosquitoes were a nuisance down in the valley, that problem should be a little bit more tolerable up here. There could be some neuropters flying in our faces by the lakes, but compared with mosquitoes and blackflies that's not so bad.

On day 7, you can make day trips in the area. Try to catch alpine char in the lakes, botanize, bird watching or just take it easy. Your guide will of course be available all day as usual.

Otherwise, to make a walk by yourself would be a special experience, I believe. And it doesn't have to be far away from the cabins. Just far enough for you to feel that you are alone. To have a personal experience like this is different from what can be experienced when you are a part of a group. It is your personal connection to nature and life. A reconnection to something deep and basic.
