Sarek national park guide book : hiking, running and mountaineering

Sarek National Park is the largest high alpine area in Sweden. There are generally no marked trails and almost no facilities like bridges and there is no cell phone coverage. It is unique, spectacular and easy to fall in love with at first sight. Sarek National Park is part of Laponia which is a World Heritage Area. This guide book is a complete planning tool for your Sarek trip, no matter if you are a hiker, a runner or an alpinist.

"The book is a true source of inspiration!"

"Boken rekommenderas varmt! Massor med inspiration och en hel del klokheter vad gäller att färdas lätt även i ett område som Sarek. Det är nog lätt att tänka att en lättare packning gör färden mer osäker men författaren visar på det motsatt, där en lätt och stark vandrare också kan ta sig an svårigheter på ett bättre sätt samt öka sin upplevelse en hel del."

"Köpt boken och tycker den var bra. Den har något om det mesta utan att snöa in på saker eller bli långdragen. Gillar att den tar upp lite klättring och toppbestigning också."
