September of 2026 – 9 days
September 09 to 17, 2026
Located above the Arctic Circle, Sarek National Park is a place filled with mountain ranges, glaciers, mighty rivers and wildlife in a terrain where tundra and taiga meet. On this photographic trip to Swedish Lapland we will enter the Rapadalen delta, climb to the top of Mount Skierffe and look for moose in the vegetation. At night we will await the visit of the northern lights in a sky completely free of light pollution. Join us on this wild adventure that mixes the best of trekking and relax.
This photographic trip to Lapland (Sweden) is perfect for landscape and nature lovers in its purest form. For a week we will explore tundra and taiga, deltas and peaks, flora and wildlife under the changing light of the arctic and the colors of a brief and unpredictable autumn.
At the start of the trip, we will be picked up by helicopter, and after flying over some of the most spectacular landscapes in the area, we will be dropped off at the edge of Sarek National Park, where we will set up our base camp in a wooden cabin. From there, we will go on daily excursions to explore the Rapadalen delta in depth. With luck, the weather will allow us to enjoy the views from the top of Mount Skierffe and we will be able to spot some reindeer.
Then we will move on to Lake Saggat, a few kilometres below Sarek. Here we will stay in wooden cabins facing the lake. It is a perfect place to photograph the taiga forest and the reflections, which will undoubtedly be very interesting at night if the long-awaited Northern Lights appear. In this part of the trip we will go on short excursions, between 4 and 6 kilometres, and relax in the forest, by the lake and in the sauna. There will also be the opportunity to pick wild berries such as blueberries and cloudberries.
The difficulty level is not high if you are used to walking and hiking in the mountains. This is a different kind of photography trip in Sweden, designed for lovers of nature, wildlife and unspoilt landscapes.

Our trips for photographers: To begin with, we want to comment that it is a photographic trip and that therefore, both the excursions and the pace of the walk are adapted to being able to enjoy them with a camera in hand. This means that the pace is very slow and with many stops.
In any case, we must note that to carry out this and any excursion and/or trekking trip, a minimum physical condition is required and to be accustomed to a minimum of walking in the mountains. If you are someone who is used to hiking through the forest and/or the mountains with a bit of unevenness, this trip should not be a problem for you. In any case, if you doubt this, contact us at info@indomitus.eu and tell us a little about yourself. We will see if this trip suits your needs.
Below we detail the different excursions and walks of the trip with their characteristics:
EXCURSIONS IN ARRENJARKA:
The Arrenjarka environment is very flat. The only excursion that has some unevenness (and it is very little) is the climb to Mount Årrevare, 5 km round trip and 522 m above sea level. The other excursion, to the hidden beach of Björnviken, follows a 4 km forest path with no significant incline.
EXCURSIONS IN SAREK:
To reserve a place on our trips you must fill out the form below or write to us at info@indomitus.eu
A deposit is required for the value of 50% of the trip.
The flights can be taken on your own, but we recommend doing it through our partner agency Travel Ponent, so that we can all arrive with the same flight.
We take the flights at the time that the minimum group is closed. At this time, the second payment for the trip can also be made.
DO YOU NEED PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT?
We are ambassadors of OM SYSTEM (formerly known as Olympus) and this allows us to offer you the possibility of borrowing brand material for your trip. Whether you are an OM SYSTEM user and want to try a new lens or camera, either because your equipment is a bit limited or because you are hesitating to change brands, ask us and you can use the body and/or lenses you want completely free of charge during your trip with us.
At Lake Saggat we will stay in Arrenjarka. It is a small island within the lake where a family from the area has taken advantage of the environment, historically used as a Sami settlement, to build this cozy accommodation.
Our wooden cabins are located next to the inner shore of the lake and enjoy unbeatable views of the surroundings and the reflections of the forest and its colors on the water. These cabins have double rooms, a living room with sofas and a table, a dining area, a full kitchen, a flat-screen TV, a private bathroom with a shower, and a sauna.
The Arrenjarka environment offers endless possibilities, which we will take advantage of during different short and easy excursions to photograph the taiga forest in detail, collect wild berries, enjoy the reflections on the lake and the views of the mountains. With any luck we may have an encounter with ptarmigan and Siberian jays and even the northern lights at night.
In Sarek National Park (Swedish Lapland) there are no human settlements or refuges. There are not even roads; only the erratic paths traced by the fauna. Here the views are not disturbed by the artificial. Civilization is just a distant memory. Sarek is an island of untouched nature dotted with jagged mountains, glaciers, lakes and rivers. An untamed and beautiful space.
The first night we will camp at a short distance from the edge of Sarek but the next days we will move our camp as we walk and explore the area.
Along the route through this area we can photograph mountain lakes, explore the Rapadalen delta and even climb to the top of Skierffe to enjoy the best views of Scandinavia. Also we will try to ascend mount Nammasj.
Minimum 6 people. Maximum 8 people
