On this tour, we will experience the unique atmosphere of late summer in the far north together with our gentle companions, the llamas! We will traverse two national parks – Rohkunborri in Norway and Vadvetjåkka in Sweden.
The nights may be a bit cooler now, but the mosquitoes have disappeared, and we can expect countless delicious berries along the way, such as blueberries and cloudberries.

Following the river Budalselva, we ascend the Budalen valley into Rohkunborri National Park, reaching Lake Budalsvatnet at 935 meters, which brings us into alpine rocky terrain. At the lake, there is an old stone structure known as “Hotel Hilton,” which was used as shelter from the weather during World War II. This route was also utilized as an escape route to Sweden during the war.
Behind the lake, we continue along the river Vàdvejohka into Sweden and into Vadvetjåkka National Park. Here, we can find a nice camping spot by the river, filled with plenty of greenery for the llamas. In the evenings, we are often visited by reindeer, and perhaps we will even catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights at night? The Aurora Borealis is often a stunning sight in the autumn!
The next day, we traverse Vadvetjåkka National Park, passing over a pass near the mountain that bears its name, Vadvetjåkka. For those who haven’t had enough elevation gain yet, there is the option to summit the peak, which is only 100 meters higher, and enjoy the view towards Sweden and the famous Lapporten (a massive and impressive trough valley).
In the next valley, beautiful camping spots await us. With a view of Lapporten and Lake Torneträsk, we will conclude the day next to our grazing llamas. On the third day, we head back to Norway into Isdalen (Ice Valley), re-entering Rohkunborri National Park. During this leg, we will cross a pass that has characteristics of high mountain terrain.
Isdalen (Ice Valley) captivates with its beautiful meandering river, where we will set up our camp, and the steeply rising mountains on both sides adorned with spectacular waterfalls. On the final day of the hike, we will pass by stunning mountain lakes as we make our way back to Budalen and the Huskylodge.

On our way off the marked hiking trails in the national parks, we will pass by tranquil crystal-clear lakes, explore green valleys, cross rivers, and experience the cultural landscape of the Sami and reindeer. Accompanying us are our gentle llamas, who carry our communal gear in their packed saddle bags.
The starting and ending point of our journey is our lodge on the edge of Rohkunborri National Park.
The hike takes us through two national parks: the Norwegian Rohkunborri with its wild mountain landscape and wildlife, as well as Vadvetjåkka, Sweden’s northernmost national park, known for its remote mountain scenery, cave systems, and alpine flora.
You will not be able to see the map until you have agreed to view it in the cookie settings.
We have a cozy tent for sleeping. Each day, we cover a distance of between 10 and 15 kilometers. The terrain ranges from easy to challenging, and we are on the move for 5 to 8 hours each day. Participants take turns leading the llamas, allowing everyone the opportunity to hike with these friendly four-legged companions while occasionally strolling hands-free. The llamas carry our luggage, and participants only need to carry small daypacks on their backs.
In all our tours, the interaction between humans and animals is particularly important! Whether it’s a person or a llama, deep friendships are formed in a short time, and it is not uncommon for saying goodbye to these loyal four-legged companions to be difficult!
