Download PDF Detail Document

Travel to the north of Sweden, to Lapland and Padjelanta National Park and go hiking through an enchanted landscape of large mountain lakes and flower covered mountain meadows. Padjelanta, which means “the higher land”, is the summer grazing area for the reindeer and the Sámi villages from Jokkmokk. On this elevated plateau to the west of Sarek National Park’s high alpine summits, we encounter extraordinary flora and fauna. With our connections with the local Sámi people you will have a memorable and unique experience in the real Lapland.
