Stage description

This short 3-kilometer stretch between the two open huts in Norway and Finland has a lot to offer: in addition to crossing the border, you’ll need to climb over a reindeer fence and cross three or four branches of the Sieiddejohka River. For at least two of the river branches, it’s a good idea to put on your wading boots. Depending on the water level, you can also walk across the rocks in late summer.
