The book is written in Swedish and serves as both a planning tool and a hiking guide for hikers who want to explore the area off the marked trails.
Sarek is known for its dramatic mountains, deep valleys, glaciers, and a landscape where nature still calls the shots. There are no marked trails or tourist cabins here, and many consider the area to be Sweden’s most challenging and spectacular mountain region. This book will help you plan your trip, choose routes, and make good decisions along the way.
The guide describes 28 through-hiking trails, with suggestions for alternative routes and practical advice on topics such as river crossings, campsites, and terrain conditions. In addition, it presents 55 summit hikes and day hikes, allowing you to tailor your trip to your own preferences and experience. The book also includes an overview of trailheads, transportation options, and recommended river crossings, all marked directly on the maps.
A distinctive feature of the book is the many photographs that show Sarek as the area is actually experienced out in the field. The photos serve both as inspiration and as a useful tool for assessing the landscape, fording points, and terrain. The guide is illustrated with authentic mountain maps at a scale of 1:100, 000, making it a valuable resource when planning your trip.
