One of Europe's last truly wild mountain areas, Sarek covers roughly 1,970 square kilometres of remote terrain in the Swedish mountains near the Norwegian border with no marked trails, no huts, and no visitor services. Glaciers feed braided rivers through U-shaped valleys carved during the last ice age, and the park shelters wolverine, arctic fox, and golden eagle. The isolation demands full expedition preparation; the reward is a mountain landscape almost entirely free of human infrastructure.
