Description

On the day of the activity, we'll pick you up from your chosen meeting point and then head into the tranquil mountain birch forest. This serene environment sets the scene for a calming 12-kilometre (7.4-mile) hike. Adventurers unite!

As the guide takes us along the mountain path, we'll see various plant species and the native wildlife that thrive in this ecosystem. The path ascends past the tree line, transforming the scenery. The forest gives way to alpine meadows and rocky outcrops, with the air becoming crisper as we climb. We'll ascend 400 metres (1,312 feet) through the mountains, affording stunning panoramic views.

Entering Kärkevvage, or "Stone Valley", we'll encounter a true geological marvel filled with immense boulders deposited by ancient glaciers. The guide will share the area's geological history.

We'll eventually arrive at Trollsjön, also known as Rissajaure, meaning "The lake that sparkles like fire". This lake, renowned for its clear waters, reveals the depths of the 36-metre-deep (118-foot) lake. After the hike, we'll have a delicious lunch by the lake's edge. Those who are brave can take a refresing dip. After 7 hours, we'll conclude this hike to Trollsjön.
