Sarek National Park
National park · Sweden
Sweden's most demanding national park has no marked trails, no bridges, and no huts, just 1,970 square kilometers of glacier-hung peaks and the braided delta of the Rapa Valley. Dwarf birch and willow on the tundra turn first, often by late August, with taller subalpine birch following into September as the first snow dusts Sarektjåkkå's 2,089-meter summit.
