E1 Norway Umbukta - Abisko


Ib.12    Section Arasluokta - Gisurisstugan   32 km



Soon in the morning I had reached the high point before I went slowly down hill to Shelter Laddejakkstugan. Before arriving I passed by the remains of a Sami summer camp. Here they had collected their new born calves and marked. Until next year besides some fences their tent stuff in wooden boxes. At Laddejakkstugan I inquired about the further trail as there are two options going forward. I could have taken the shorter former but no longer maintained trail across the mountain or the new and longer trail bypassing top. I decided to take the longer one. It started with a steep ascent before the trail split. Now I followed River Vuojalådno. Finally I arrived at a long bridge across the river. I could cross the bridge and hike to Vaisaluokta Fjällstuga or stay on this side of the river and hike to Gisurisstugan. I decided to stay on Padjelantaleden and arrived at Gisurisstugan in the evening.
