Vadvetjåkka National Park, National park in Kiruna Municipality, Sweden

Vadvetjåkka is a national park in northern Sweden featuring mountainous terrain with a network of cave systems. The landscape includes alpine plants and sits close to the border with Norway.

The park was established in 1920 to protect the natural landscapes of this northern region. This decision preserved the area's ecosystems for the future.

Sámi communities have deep roots here, practicing reindeer herding across these northern lands as part of their way of life. Visitors walking through the landscape can sense how people have adapted to this remote terrain.

The park has no road access and lacks developed visitor facilities. Anyone planning to explore here needs to bring their own supplies and suitable equipment.

The park contains an extensive cave network that draws geologists and scientists studying underground ecosystems. These caverns form a rare geological feature in this remote northern setting.
