View East Into the U-Shaped Valley
Highlight • Viewpoint
The Syterska Valley is one of those places that just stops you in your tracks. This stunning 10 km long U-shaped valley stretches through the Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve in Swedish Lapland, carving the Norra Storfjället mountain range in two. Simply breathtaking.

Viterskalet Cabin
Highlight • Mountain Hut
The Viterskalet cabin is the last one you’ll come across on the Kungsleden before reaching Hemavan.
Here, the mountain hut experience and the accommodation are simple and authentic. You’ll sleep in a dormitory and will need to cater for your own meals. However, there is a communal room where you can socialise with other hikers, prepare your meals and eat indoors. The rooms vary in size, are fitted with bunk beds and are usually heated by gas stoves. On arrival, you’ll need to fetch your own firewood and collect water from the stream or lake to wash up. A truly authentic experience!
