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 then head into the mountain birch forest. This 12-kilometre (7.4-mile) hike offers a calming environment with a forest floor covered in ferns, mosses, and woodland flowers. As the guide takes us along the mountain path, we'll observe various plant species and the native wildlife. The path will ascend past the tree line, transitioning from dense forest to alpine meadows and rocky outcrops, while we climb 400 metres (1,312 feet) up through the mountains and valleys, providing stunning panoramic views.

As we enter Kärkevvage, or "Stone Valley", we'll encounter a geological marvel with large boulders deposited by ancient glaciers. The unique atmosphere of the valley will be enhanced by the guide sharing its geological history. Our destination is Trollsjön, also known as Rissajaure, meaning "The lake that sparkles like fire". This lake is renowned for its clear waters and depths of 36 metres (118 feet). After the hike, we'll have a lunch break by the lake's edge, and those who wish can take a dip in the cold water.

Our adventure will last for 7 hours.
