Saltoluokta Mountain Station

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Saltoluokta refuge is, like that of Abisko, one of the largest built on the Kungsleden.

You will find all the amenities there: accommodation, food, groceries, equipment rental, and even WiFi.

Easily accessible by boat, the refuge makes an ideal base camp for exploring the region. Its picturesque setting, nestled between Lake Langas and its nearby mountains, will delight more than one.

Lakes of Vuomajåhka

Highlight • Lake

This collection of small lakes worthy of a North American setting is the source of the Vuomajåhka River.

In late summer, when the mosquitoes are gone, their sumptuousness provides a first-rate restful setting.

STF Sitojaure Mountain Cabin

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Sitojaure refuge is a small bucolic hut, flanked on the shores of Lake Gasskajávrre.

The refuge, which has 25 beds, does not offer groceries. The Sami, on the other hand, pass by regularly, and they sometimes sell homemade bread and freshly caught and smoked fish.

For the crossing of the lake, the guardian of the refuge will tell you the price and times.

July 3, 2025,🇸🇪Kungsleden - Tag 21 - Sitojaure Fjällstuga - STF Saltoluokta Fjällstation

Today, my phone alarm, which I had set yesterday as a precaution, rang at 6 a.m. – and sure enough, it woke me up. It was the first time I wasn't awake before 6 a.m.

We wanted to get an early start, as we had 20 kilometers ahead of us and the plan (and motivation) to have a coffee at …

Day 03.2 - Land in sight.
After the bus and ferry ride I arrived in Saltoluokta. This is a large and well maintained STF facility. I shopped here for the first time. 2x ready meals, crispbread and cheese from the tube. I also treated myself to lunch. A soup, bread, butter, cheese, spreads, cold cuts etc. and fresh salad were …

Day 5 already. Just under 20 kilometers and starting with a steep climb. In the morning it still rains quite hard, but after 9 o'clock it becomes dry. I don't think I've walked in a bit of rain for 15 minutes. And then the sun suddenly came out. The whole stage. This was perhaps the most beautiful day yet. The …

The path led through a long high valley. I lost my way and walked over an interesting moraine landscape. The boat trip on the Sitojaure went without any problems, but seems adventurous to us. An exact route must be followed through the many shoals.
