Nice pictures Jaakko, and especially Sarek! It’s interesting to see the area from different spots then I’ve been already. Seems you’ve done an interesting traverse of the mountains between Rapadalen and the Bastavagge. Looking forward to read in the trip report how that turned out. Next time don’t forget to bring a packraft there!
Thanks Joery! And thansk for your tips regarding packrafting. Your trips are great source of inspiration. I hope to do more and longer trips in the future…
This time we decided to go without packrafts but the next time I want at least 2 weeks time – and a packraft! 🙂 It’s a pity that packrafting the Rapaätno is forbidden. The glacier traverse from Bastavagge to Rapadalen was nice and easy though the descent to Rapadalen was steeper than what we’d liked and there would’ve been a better route… The trip report will like be more “thoughts along the way” style than a precise report of route and the trip.
Loved the Sarek photos, Jaakko. Beautiful colours in some shots. It’s on my agenda for next year.
