Idyllic pitches right on the water. A night costs 100 kroner, but there's no infrastructure.

Coming from the south, you have just completed a small, really steep climb. The view of Marsfjället is beautiful. Only the wind whistles a little cold here. The pass is also used by wild animals, which leave their droppings in large numbers.

Once you've left the forest and the first climb behind you, look forward to a short break here with a great view. You can stay overnight - or, like us, sit out a rain shower on the way back.

Located in the beautiful Fatmomakke. Used for supplies. Perched high as protection from animals.
