FJALLRAVEN CLASSIC PART 6 : SALKA TO ALESJAURE

SALKA-ALESJAURE

We left again early in the morning and headed to the "frightening" Tjaktja Pass. This stage was described as the most difficult stretch of the trail. In fact the pass is just an intense climb on a short distance about from 940 meters at the bottom for 1140 meters at the top on a 200 meters stretch. We climbed it at a pretty good speed, not without having a rest from time to time an taking pleasure with the view to the south and the magnificent valley.  Finally by reaching the summit we found some snow remains, a small cabin and...toilets. 

 

On the other side of the pass the landscape is 100% mineral on some kilometers before gaining in green. The weather also became more friendly with some sun rays but fresh temperatures. 

We passed our intended camp site during the day and joined the Alesjaure checkpoint and its magnificent lake. We had a rest on a beach (no sun tanning) and our dinner.

We walked some more kilometers and established our camp site North of the lake near some others small lakes and not far from a reindeer coral.
