Padjelanta/Badjelánnda National Park

Padjelanta – Badjelánnda in Sámi – is a landscape of sweeping high plateaus and large mountain lakes. The terrain is open and gently rounded, unlike the dramatic peaks of neighbouring Sarek. Here, you wander through rich flower meadows and have the chance to see many of the bird species that thrive on the open mountain heaths and around the clear, cold lakes.

Padjelanta/Badjelánnda is part of the Laponia World Heritage Site, recognised for its outstanding natural and cultural values.
