Áhkká, Mountain summit in Stora Sjöfallet National Park, Sweden

The Áhkká massif features twelve separate peaks and ten glaciers, with its highest point Stortoppen reaching 2,011 meters above sea level.

The first documented climb of Áhkká occurred in 1924 when mountaineers Torsten Boberg and Jöns Jönsson reached the summit.

The Sámi people have long regarded Áhkká as a sacred mountain, with its name translating to 'wife' in the Lule Sami language.

Visitors can access Áhkká by taking a coach from Gällivare to Ritsem, followed by a ferry crossing over Akkajaure lake during summer months.

The mountain creates a vertical drop of 1,563 meters from its summit to Akkajaure lake, which varies due to hydroelectric power regulation.
