About This Route

Sweden's most famous high-altitude road. This route takes you deep into the northern wilderness, crossing the Stekenjokk plateau (the highest paved road in Sweden at 876m). It's a land of reindeer herds, thundering waterfalls like Hällingsåfallet, and vast tundra. WARNING: The road is only fully open from June to mid-October. While the Stekenjokk section involves a long climb, the road is wide and well-engineered. Absolute silence and infinite space.
