Route

Start in Bjorkliden and hike to the hut ”Låktajåkka” for the best waffle or stay over for the night. You can also hike down the other side of the mountain, down to Låktajåkkas Trainstation, but for this trip you need to grab the bus to get back to Björkliden.

Field Notes:

I do really like this hike because it’s so so so beautiful, with some parts covered by snow almost all summer. You have the big lake behind you and and there are many great spots to stop and eat your waffles!

When To Visit

It’s best to hike here in July and August

Q&A:

Why did you start Tori Retreats?

We wanted more likeminded women get together, doing things they love. Nature, food, movement and new friends is our goal for now.

Why do you love hiking?

It just gives me a sense of peace, being out there with my dogs and friends. I love this region of Sweden because the endless wild nature makes you feel so small.

You have 65k+ followers, what has been the best thing to happen via your Instagram?

I think that instagram happened to me, I didn’t really have any plan when I downloaded the app at some point around 2013. Photography have always been a big part of me, and I always loved to tell stories, and then someone created this app and I could make a living out of what I love - it's quite surreal. I've also met most of my friends though the app.

What the one non-safety-essential always in your bag?

My camera and snacks!
