Lappland & the Far North
Elusive Creatures
There are few places in the world where it's easier to see reindeer, elk and foxes. If you're
lucky, you may even spot a brown bear, lynx or wolverine, though they are nocturnal and
shy.
Top Trails
The Kungsleden is the most celebrated hiking trail, although Padjelanta and Stora Sjöf-
jallet offer trails that are no less picturesque. The ascent of Kebnekaise provides excep-
tional views, while Sarek National Park will challenge even the most experienced of
hikers.
Sami Way of Life
Explore the past and present of Europe's only indigenous people: admire Sami silver jew-
ellery through the ages at Áttje Museum or the Silvermuseet, stay with Sami reindeer her-
ders at Båtsuoj Sami Camp and visit the Jokkmokk Winter Market.
