Inkanjaure

Tour description

Price Adult: 1790 SEK Student: 1590 SEK Child (7-12 years): 895 SEK Time: 9.00 AM - 5.00 PM Duration: 6 - 8 hours Meeting Point: Lapportsvägen 34B Minimum age: 7 years This guided hike takes you to the hidden mountain lake Inkanjaure – a place where few visitors ever set foot. The lake lies in Kiruna municipality, Lapland, and is part of the Torne River’s main catchment area. The journey itself is part of the adventure: we follow trails and open terrain through birch forest, mountain heath and rolling ridges, until the landscape opens up towards the still waters of Inkanjaure. Along the way, we will learn about the unique geology and the traces of the ice age that still shape the area. The shifting vegetation shows the adaptation of life in the Arctic – from lush birch woods to small, resilient alpine plants. It is not unusual to spot reindeer in these parts, and with some luck we may encounter moose, ptarmigan or other wildlife that thrive in this untouched valley. When we reach the lake, we take a well-deserved break for lunch in the open air. Inkanjaure carries a sense of remoteness and timelessness, with views stretching across surrounding peaks and valleys. Old prospection sites nearby tell the story of how people once dreamed of mining copper here – traces that can still be seen in the landscape. After lunch we begin our return, enriched with impressions of silence, wilderness and Arctic beauty.
