Rundhögda - easy 7 km
Character of the tour: Essentially a calf mountain tour where you follow lovely rippling watercourses for large parts of the tour and the mountain forest you walk in consists of wonderfully weathered birches.
Length of the tour: approx. 7 km
Total climb: approx. 200 m
Especially for the tour: That you have a view already at the parking lot. The beautiful birch forest and the rippling watercourses.
Things to consider/tips: If you want to extend the tour, make a detour up to the top of Rundhögda.
Just after you enter the main hiking trail from Svukuriset, there is a small spring. Follow the water 20 m downstream and you will find a wonderful little rest area with a view to the west.
Recommended map: Fjällkartan w 51 Height curves, equidistant 10 m.
Hiking description
Start by driving into Norway on road 221. About 5 km after the Norwegian border at the highest point, there is a large parking lot on the right.
From the car park you follow trodden paths towards the NE. These connect to a dirt road that you then follow up the mountain. After a stream has passed under the road, you walk about 200 m more before there is a clear path out onto the mountain. Follow the path until it joins the stream that leads you in between Rundhögda and Lifjället. Here are nice little falls and rapids and lots of good places to rest.
After following the stream to its headwaters, head further west to join the next stream which leads you down to the large marked walking trail and back to the parking lot.
