The hike takes about 6–8 hours, depending on weather, and follows the breathtaking Kärkevagge valley – a rocky labyrinth rumored to contain over 3,000 caves. Trollsjön (in Sámi: Rissajaure, “the lake that glows like fire”) is situated at 815 meters above sea level at the foot of the Gearggecorru and Vassejietnja peaks. The lake is fed by glacial meltwater and surrounded by stunning mountain scenery. Along the trail, you might spot reindeer, ptarmigans, lemmings, mountain hares and birds of prey – plus alpine flora such as monkshood, buttercups, cotton grass and dwarf birch. Bring binoculars and a flora guide to enhance your experience! Important Information This tour requires good physical fitness and balance, as we move through uneven and rocky mountain terrain. It’s ideal for those who enjoy a full day outdoors and are comfortable in all kinds of weather. Please note: There are no toilets along the trail – nature is our closest option.
