Sarek winter guide

A trip to Sarek National Park is on every mountain enthusiast's wish list. This book describes around 40 top tours, with a focus on downhill skiing. Those who prefer to ski touring will get tips on some classic routes through the national park. A special chapter in the book is dedicated to the most magnificent and alpine tour in the country – the Great Sarek Traverse, this over 20 km long ridge hike stretches over many of the highest peaks in the area.
