If you are going to visit Sarek, be ready to see at least a hundred glaciers and several mountains that are at least 2000 metres tall. Six of Sweden’s highest mountains are in Sarek.
Sarek National Park has a unique geology that can be attributed to glacial activity. The meltwater from the glaciers flow through the valleys and form the world’s most famous alpine delta, the Rapa river delta. The continuous movement of the ice sheets produces rock dust. It is then carried away by the meltwater that later forms the deltas. The ice sheet has also sculpted large U-shaped valleys.
The Sami people came to Sarek thousands of years ago. They were hunter gatherers who hunted reindeer which were a source of meat and milk for them. Sami settlement can still be found within Sarek.
