Sarek Nature Reserve

The Sarek nature reserve was established in 1909 in order to preserve this characteristic mountain region in its unspoiled state. A mountain walk through the National Park takes more than a week, and should be undertaken only by experienced hill walkers, with proper equipment, a tent and adequate supplies of food. This is regarded as one of the most difficult walking areas in Scandinavia, and prospective visitors should beware of over-estimating their capabilities.
