Trollsjön Abisko

Guided day trip to Trollsjön (Rissajaure).

The trip Abisko- Trollsjön is a day trip.

The tour starts at 9: 00 (see schedule for each pick-up location) and begins with transport to Låkta where the trail through Kärkevagge to Trollsjön starts. From Låkta we hike to Trollsjön and take a break for lunch before it’s time to go back. The trip is estimated to take 6-8 hours depending on the weather and current conditions on the trail.

Trollsjön is Sweden’s cleanest clear-water lake located 815 m above sea level in the end of the valley Kärkevagge at the foot of Gearggecorru and Vassejietnja. Trollsjön is a sterile mountain lake with meltwater from nearby glaciers. The visibility depth is 37 meter all the way to the bottom of the deepest part of the lake. The depth of sight would most likely been longer if the lake had been deeper. It’s estimated to be about 70 meters.

On the way to Trollsjön, it is possible to see some animals such as reindeer, lemmings, buzzards, grouse, hares, mountain pipits and sometimes even sea eagles. In Kärkevagge there are also several typical mountain plants such as kvanne, stormhatt, glacier crowfoot, rose root, polar wool, polar willow and dwarf birch, so a good tip is to bring binoculars and a mountain flora on the trip.

A unique and fun experience! Arel is super kind and patient and an encouraging teacher. Neither of us had ever been ice climbing before and so it is very doable and enjoyable for beginners. 100% recommend!
