STF Saltoluokta Fjällstation

The Fjällstation has a sauna with an amazing view on the mountain, the dinner was absolutely delicious. However, as a serious hiker, you could wish for some improvements. The service house is very small and there is no oppurtinity to wash clothes (you can do it in the sink of the only toilet in the service house). The drying room is not adequate and with bad weather or many guests, your clothes might not be dry by the next day. Furthermore, during our stay, the shop was out of trekking food, so we could only buy oats, noodles and rice as power food for the coming days.

This place is magic in the middle of the wild. Spent 1 night here after a 8 day hike. The food, the sauna and the sheer hospitality makes you want to come back. Stay here if you can

Great location, very friendly personel, great dinner. Only remarks are the breakfast and the rooms. 85 euros for a shared room and that kind of breakfast is just too much imo. Breakfast was very basic, not worth the pricetag at all, skip it if you can.

STF Saltoluokta Fjällstation has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff, and an excellent breakfast. Boat transport to the northern side of the lake can be booked directly at the fjällstation. The shop is small but sufficiently stocked for hikers

Big thanks to the amazing staff who saved our holiday! Our bags got lost during our flight from Amsterdam due to a big malfunction ofvthe baggage system and the Saltoluokta staff was very helpful in providing equipment, food and advice on an alternative trekking route (so we could return the packs). We had a great time and spend 12 days in the Swedish mountains with the family. A big thanks! The facilities were good and we enjoyed the diner very much with good quality ingredients and nice service.

The location is great. Easy to get to via the boat, but feels isolated and peaceful. Beautiful alpine forest surrounding the mountain station, and the tree line is not far away. The facilities are quite simple, but functional. Visit Saltoluokta for the location and atmosphere, rather than the standard of the facilities, and you will have a great experience.

The STF Saltoluokta Fjällstation nestled amid the woods of a small Sámi settlement above a lake is unlike any mountain hut I’ve ever stayed at. An historic wooden building dating from the early twentieth century, it’s more like a high end lodge offering fine dining, comfortable accommodation, a sauna, laundry facilities and an incredibly well-stocked shop selling a range of items. Here you can buy various essentials (all in sensibly sized quantities), from freeze dried and other food, various toiletries, to camping fuel, maps and even local souvenirs. In addition, there is a wide range of outdoor clothing, footwear and equipment, all of which are recognised brands. The staff are incredibly friendly and go out of their way to make your stay pleasant.||||We booked online ahead of our visit and stayed in a comfy two-bed dorm (bed linen can be hired). The spotlessly clean shower and toilet facilities are shared and located in the hall. The place was a bit noisy during the day, but quiet after 10.00 pm. There were cooking facilities attached to our dormitory, but we chose to eat in the elegant Scandinavian inspired dining room with its rustic wooden tables and chairs. The food is distinctively Sámi and is organic and sourced locally; the bar has a respectable range of wines and spirits and best of all, craft beer, brewed by the Tjers Bryggeri from the Swedish Arctic. Dinner must be ordered before 3.00 pm and is a grand affair, with the chef announcing each course. On the menu are things such as reindeer soup with lingonberries, crispy fresh salad, smoked Arctic char with roasted root vegetables, tasty rye bread and white chocolate mousse with a red berry coulis. With candles twinkling on the wooden tables bathed in the dying rays of the autumn sun streaming in through its windows, the atmosphere in the dining room was enchanting. We rounded off a delicious and filling meal with a glass of fiery schnapps sipped beside a roaring log fire.||||The price for one night's accommodation with lunch, dinner and breakfast (even with our STF membership discount) was by no means cheap, but we will savour our memory of being at this wonderful mountain hut at the start of our Kungsleden trek to Kvikkjokk.

Very nice mountain station, perfect place for start or ending of hiking trips to Sarek and Kungsleden. Rent a room or sleep in your tent. Great restaurant with menu based on local food. Small store with possibility to buy food and other necessities for the hiking trip. A bit expensive, but think that's ok for this service in the middle of nowhere.
