Viewpoints in Björkliden.

Welcome to the bare mountain!

From here, you’ve just left the tree line behind you. Take a moment to rest and enjoy the absolutely fantastic view of Abisko, Nuolja, Torneträsk, and the dramatic Norwegian mountain range stretching along the other side of the lake.

Bonus on the trip:  At the lookout point, you can pick up a small piece of the ore-rich rock from the Kiruna Mountains.

How to get there

1. Start at the hotel. Begin by walking up the gravel road toward the mountain on the other side of the parking lot.
2. Follow the golf course. Continue up the hill and pass the first few holes. In the distance, you can see the lookout cabin at the top of the mountain.
3. Turn right up the hill. Once you've walked up the slope and passed the first holes, turn immediately right to head up the hill.
4. Enjoy the view. When you arrive at the little lookout cabin, take a moment to enjoy the view! The cabin isn’t normally open to the public—but it usually offers a bit of shelter at one of its four corners on windy days.

Where the Midnight Sun is at its best

Do you have some extra energy and want to find the absolute best spot to experience the midnight sun? Then we highly recommend a trip up to the Midnight Sun Cairn! At the stroke of midnight, the sun stands directly over Pålnoviken in Torneträsk and the Norwegian Sördalen—an absolutely incredible canyon with steep cliff walls.

Bonus on the trip: Keep your eyes peeled—there’s a good chance you’ll find golden cloudberries along the way!

How to get there

1. Start at the hotel. Walk up the gravel path toward the golf course and the first tee.
2. Find the sign. Continue along the gravel road until you see a small information sign in English about the Låktatjåkko mountain station.
3. Take the red trail. Turn left onto the clearly marked path with red-marked cairns.
4. After about 500 meters, the cairns are marked with both red and yellow. Follow the yellow markings as they turn to the right.
5. Find the cairn. Soon you’ll see a cairn and a sign at the top of a hill—that’s the Midnight Sun Cairn. Feel free to write something in the guestbook!

It's super cozy!

Hidden away at the fourth hole on the golf course is a super cozy little wooden cabin. It’s located right at the tree line and is perfect for a lovely coffee break with a view of Lake Torneträsk. Take a seat at the large outdoor stone table or go inside and cozy up on the benches around the fireplace. There’s firewood on site if you need it! (Just remember to extinguish the fire properly when you’re done and check for any local fire bans.).

Bonus on the trip: Perfect shelter and the option to build a fire if the weather were to change.

1. Head toward the swimming lake. Follow the gravel road up toward the golf course and Låktatjåkko until you reach the swimming lake.
2. Turn right. At the swimming lake, turn right and follow the well-trodden path.
3. Look out from the tee. From the tee on the golf course for hole four, look out toward the trees—that’s where you’ll see the teepee!
4. Follow the fairway. Walk along the right side of the fairway for the fourth hole all the way to the hut. Be aware of any tee shots or golfers and keep your distance.
