Nikkaluokta

Nikkaluokta lies at the meeting of valleys east of the Kebnekaise mountains, beside Lake Paittasjärvi. Sámi people have used this mountain country for thousands of years. Reindeer migration routes pass through the valleys, while the lakes and surrounding land provide fishing and hunting grounds. The site is part of a lived Sámi landscape, where movement between the mountains and the forests has long followed the changing seasons.
