Day 1: Boat transport to Njunes, Västerbotten

Mountain cabin: basic, clean, warm & friendly

The weather up here can be variable, and so when hiking, you need to make sure you're suitably clothed. A layering system is best, where you can add or remove layers depending on the conditions at the time. Seasoned hikers will always be carrying a waterproof shell/Gore-Tex rain jacket or similar, even if the sun is shining when you set off, and several layers of functional breathable clothing. 

On some hikes you might see people wearing all manner of shoes on their feet, but all too-often people are caught out using inadequate footwear, and we would recommend always using a closed shoe – no sandals or flip-flops!
