Trollsjön Guided Hike

Are you an adventure-lover? If so, this hike to Trollsjön is perfect for you. Hike through 12 kilometers (7.4 miles) of stunning Swedish landscape in Abisko.

Description

On the day of the activity, we'll pick you up from your chosen meeting point and head into the mountain birch forest. This environment, with a forest floor covered in ferns, mosses, and woodland flowers, sets the scene for a 12-kilometre (7.4-mile) hike. Adventurers unite!

The guide will take us along the mountain path, showcasing various plant species and the native wildlife. As we ascend past the tree line, the scenery will transform, with dense forest giving way to alpine meadows and rocky outcrops. Throughout the hike, we'll ascend 400 metres (1,312 feet) up through the mountains and valleys. The changing landscape will provide stunning panoramic views.

Upon entering Kärkevvage, or "Stone Valley", we'll see immense boulders, deposited by ancient glaciers, creating a unique landscape. The guide will share the area's geological history.

We'll arrive at Trollsjön, also known as Rissajaure, meaning "The lake that sparkles like fire". This stunning lake, 36 metres deep (118 feet), offers clear waters revealing its depths. After the hike, we'll have a lunch break by the lake and those who wish can take a dip in the cold water.

After 7 hours, we'll conclude the hike to Trollsjön.
