Camping in the wilderness

Dreamy campsites – check into the silence.

Pitching your tent in the Riksgränsen means choosing a view over four walls. It’s that moment when you zip up the outer tent, look out over the untouched wilderness, and realize that this very spot on Earth is yours for the night.

The alpine plateau at Kärkevagge among ancient giants

For those seeking absolute freedom, high above the noise of everyday life. Hike up into the mythical Kärkevagge valley and find your place among the echoes of history. Camping here is an almost otherworldly experience. You'll be surrounded by vertical, mighty rock walls and enormous boulders left behind during the Ice Age. As you sit outside your tent, watching the midnight sun cast its long shadows across the rugged landscape, you'll be struck by a dizzying sense of humility. Here, you are small, yet at the same time, a part of something infinitely grand. It is raw, authentic, and completely free.

Pitch your tent on a height overlooking the legendary Trollsjön (Rissajaure) for an extra grand photo opportunity. The contrast between your small, colorful tent and the monumental, gray stone world creates an image of pure, uncompromising adventurousness.

Lake Vassijaure – where the world mirrors itself

Here, where the soft Arctic grasslands meet the lake's polished shore stones, you will find a peaceful home for the night.

As evening turns into night – without it ever getting dark – something magical happens to Vassijaure. The wind completely dies down. The lake transforms into a giant, dark mirror that reflects the image of the snow-capped Norwegian mountains on the horizon. The only sound is the soothing, rhythmic lapping of crystal-clear water against the shore. You fall asleep in a golden midnight glow, filled with a deep and weightless sense of peace. If you stand at the water's edge at midnight, you might capture perhaps the year's best photo by framing the tent's warm silhouette against the pastel-colored sky, where the sun's rays kiss the dramatic north face of Vassitjåkka. A photo that not only shows where you were, but how it felt to be there.
