FJALLRAVEN CLASSIC PART 5 : KEBNEKAISE TO SALKA

KEBNEKAISE-SALKA

We left early and headed to Singi check point then Salka Check point.

In my mind this part of the trek was may be the most difficult, with the climb of the tjaktja pass. Mainly because the weather was a bit rainy and the trail slippy with mud and rocks and a up and down all the way from Kebnekaise to Singi. This was widely compensated by the beautiful landscape which were now surrounding us, we were entering the Lapland wilderness. The landscape was now different the trees had disappeared and it was a rocky mountain landscape at first then a ice age valley when heading to the North. The temperatures where close to ice too with no more than 3 to 4°C during the night and may be 8 to 10°C at day time. We finally reached Singi for the lunch break. 

We reached Salka in the evening where we had the nice surprise to find a coffee and cinnamon cake to welcome us!!

We pushed a few kilometers after this checkpoint and camped mid way to Tjaktja pass.
