Sweden: Sarek NP: rivers and lakes dangers

[evets01]

Sorry for my english.

In 10 days we will start the classic winter traverse (with pulka) of Sarek, starting in Ritsem and ending in Kvikkjokk, going trough Ruohtesvagge to Mikkastugan and then trough Rapadalen towards Aktse, with a visit at Bierikjavvre.

We have a little concern about the state of rivers and lakes along this route. Sometimes rivers and lakes can freeze in layers, with the dangerwhenn passing trough you sink sometimes very deep.

Are there recent or common issues with the following rivers or lakes on which we should take the more then normal attention:

- Vuojatadno-river

- Ruohtesvagge-river/stream

- Rahpajakka-river

- Raahpaadno-river

- Bierikjavvre-lake

- Laitaure-lake

Thank you very much,

Steve

I don't know how the contitions are in those areas you talk about, but march is still early winther upp in Sarek. You should probably be able to cross any river/lakes without any problems until the end of april.

Try not to cross near the place where the river comes into the lake or goes out.

Try to ask the locals (nearest tourist office or mountain hut).
