Stora Sjöfallet/Stuor Muorkke National Park

In Stora Sjöfallet – Stuor Muorkke in Sámi – you’ll explore a national park with striking contrasts and diverse nature. The landscape offers powerful mountain ridges, deep valleys, boulder‑strewn plateaus, high summits and glaciers. The park is also one of the most accessible parts of Laponia, as the Road to the West (Vägen västerut) crosses through sections of the area.

Stora Sjöfallet/Stuor Muorkke National Park is part of the Laponia World Heritage Site, recognised for its outstanding natural and cultural values.
