Ladtjojaure

Ladtjojaure is a lake in Norrbotten County near Kebnekaise Mountain Station, where surrounding mountain peaks are reflected in its waters. The lake extends through a remote landscape and connects several valleys in this subarctic region.

The lake has served as a water source and travel route for Sami communities for centuries in this northern region. Traditional activities like fishing and herding connected people to this place through generations.

The name comes from the Sami language, representing the deep ties between indigenous peoples and the landscape of northern Sweden.

You can reach the lake by hiking trails from Nikkaluokta, with summer boat services available to help with water crossings. Preparation for changeable mountain weather and sturdy footwear is essential for any visit.

The lake transforms dramatically between seasons, with the midnight sun reflecting off its surface in summer while winter brings continuous darkness. This extreme shift in light creates entirely different moods and sights depending on when you visit.
