Dundret, Nature reserve in Gällivare, Sweden

Dundret is a nature reserve in Gällivare that rises to 823 meters above sea level. This mountain area offers nine skiing pistes and many trails for cross-country skiing in northern Sweden.

The first summit hut on Dundret was built by Norrbottens turistförening in the 1880s, when the railway reached Gällivare and the fell became a visitor attraction; that hut burned down in 1953. The forest-fire lookout on Stora toppen was opened to the public by Åke Nordvall in 1953, and the current larger hut there was inaugurated in 1984, replacing one from 1955. The whole fell has been a nature reserve since 1970.

The name Dundret derives from Finnish tunturi (fell), itself from Sami tuoddar; the Swedish word dundret means "the thunder" but is not the original meaning. The fell also carries the Lule Sami name Váhtjerduottar and the Meänkieli name Vasaratunturi. At Åke på toppen, a cabin named after Åke Nordvall, who opened the forest-fire warden's hut to the public with coffee in 1953, Friluftsfrämjandet serves coffee and cakes on public holidays from November to 1 May.

Femmanvägen, an asphalted road begun in 1949, runs all the way to Linbanetoppen at about 757 m, where a 158 m mast stands. From Gällivare it is roughly six kilometres and 450 metres of climb to Stora toppen along this road, which is groomed as a ski track in winter. Hebrotoppen can only be reached on foot via the hiking trails.

On clear days, the summit offers views covering about one eleventh of Sweden's land area. The midnight sun is visible here between early June and mid-July.
