Sarek National Park is another fascinating tourist destination in the Lapland area. Situated in the Norbotten province and within the Arctic Circle, this is also a great place to view the northern lights. The climate here is cold and dry, which makes the park a perfect place for arctic plant species you cannot see elsewhere. If you would like to hike up to the mountain top, you may consider joining a guided tour to ensure you hike safely. Boats are available within the park for trips across Lake Dievssajávri and tents are allowed for those who would like to spend the night in this Swedish national park true to its natural elements.
