Sonfjället National Park

Sonfjället National Park extends across 103 square kilometers, featuring forests, wetlands, and a central mountain reaching 1,278 meters above sea level.

Established in 1909, this national park stands among the earliest protected natural areas in Europe, with a significant expansion of its territory in 1989.

The area maintains strong connections to Sámi communities who have practiced traditional reindeer herding across these lands for many generations.

The park includes marked hiking trails, designated camping areas, and visitor centers that provide maps and information about local wildlife and geology.

The surrounding forests serve as one of Scandinavia's primary bear sanctuaries, supporting a permanent population of brown bears within the park boundaries.
