Sarektjåkkå[clarification needed] is the second highest mountain in Sweden and the highest mountain in the Laponian area at 2,089 metres (6,854 ft) AMSL. The mountain is located close to the eastern border of Sarek National Park, about 23 kilometres (14 mi) southwest of Suorva.
Climbing
Sarektjåkkå is not easily accessible by any nearby roads, so the approach normally takes a day or more of backcountry hiking.
Accessing the north summit, at 2,054 metres (6,739 ft) altitude, is a moderate but steep hike up. The actual summit (Stortoppen) is located about 600 metres (2,000 ft) southwest of the north summit via a ridge and is not as easy to reach, requiring exposed scrambling. An alternative route is to scale the summit from the south by merely steep hiking, but this requires crossing glaciers.
