But, I just packed for a day trip and started hiking to Vuojnestjåhkkå.

The slope was boggy, grey tiny streams here and there. Since I had one reserve day left, I could have climbed Låddebákte the next day, but I didn't feel the urge to do that. I cleared my way through the wetland with Finnish sisu and got myself to the beach trail.

Amazing sceneries opened up to every direction, but the wind was so hard, that I had to go back down almost immediately. Rapa valley was as muddy as I had expected, the dense mountain birch trees and the heat made it feel like a jungle. At some point, the trail disappeared, but I found River Njabbejåhkå easily.

I decided to walk through the pass, and summit just a 1066 m peak and a view point at the South-East side of the mountain.

A steep trail led to River Jilájåhkå. I had noticed a couple earlier, now there were two couples walking along the river. Du orkar gå 15 km/dag i obanad terräng med packning. The views to Rapa valley were scenic anyway. I had encountered extreme weather from thunder storm to heat, survived scary river crossings, and carried everything I need for living for 15 days on my back – for the first time in my life.

Sarek National Park is located in Swedish Lapland, in Jokkmokk Municipality.

Vi kommer under turens gång snirkla oss fram genom dalgångar, vada över otaliga jokkar, klättra upp längs branter och se ut över storslagna bergsmassiv. All-in-one! I was grateful for surviving Rapa Valley. Too bad it was going to rain in the afternoon. At some point I thought I had found the route to the lower trail, but the traces I followed in wetland were probably made by moose.

Soon I arrived above the treeline, sweating. I saw a small pile of rocks marking the trail head. River Skoarkkijávrátja was just a small brook, but from the fallen trees and roots you could see how it floods when the water level is high. Many streams were dry. Finally, I was back on the right trail that runs along the shoreline of the lakes and wetland.

I had peace in my heart. I sat on the river bank after wading to cool down, it's always exciting to cross rivers. Med tryggheten av kunniga guider får vi utrymme att både möta fjällvärlden och oss själva, med nyfikenhet och närvaro.

Vi startar i Ritsem och tar oss över sjön Ahkajavvre med båt.
