Sarektjåkkå, Mountain massif in Sarek National Park, Sweden

Sarektjåkkå rises to 2,089 meters in elevation, featuring a complex terrain of steep cliffs, glaciers, and deep valleys within the Scandinavian Mountains.

The Swedish government established protection for Sarektjåkkå and its surroundings in 1909 when Sarek National Park became one of the first national parks in Europe.

The mountain's name originates from the Sami language, reflecting centuries of indigenous presence in the region where reindeer herding remains an essential practice.

Visitors require advanced mountaineering skills and proper equipment to navigate the unmarked trails and extreme weather conditions that characterize the Sarektjåkkå area.

The massif contains over one hundred glaciers and serves as a refuge for numerous Arctic species, including lynx, wolverines, and golden eagles.

Location: Jokkmokk Municipality
