About Årrenjarka Lapland Mountain Village

A real mountain paradise.

The Sarek National Park is one of the true remaining wilderness regions left in Europe. Sarek is within the UNESCO region of Laponia and is protected. You can wander around Sarek for days without seeing anyone, summer or winter. Scattered around Sarek are the smaller, but equally beautiful National Parks of Padjelanta, Muddus and Stora sjöfallet.

The Årrenjarka Mountain Village is based in the Arctic Circle just 17km from Kvikkjokk and at the base of all the national parks in the region. The central area of the holiday village covers around 25 acres and the total area some 1600 acres.

Located in the central area are a number of holiday cabins with showers and toilets inside the cabins. Six of these cabins are luxury standard, with saunas and wood burning stoves and are located almost at the water’s edge where you simply open the french doors and three paces later, you find yourself at the edge of the river. The remaining cabins are modern units that are circled around a service house with full toilet and shower facilities.

The Village also has a very impressive, log cabin style conference centre, a very large, very modern and stylish restaurant & bar with views over the mountains, a reception building, a small shop and a large grill house which is a large wooden tipi, with a small bar and open fire grill inside. Enjoy days out in the magnificent surroundings and afterwards enjoy evenings in the restaurant eating local delicacies and authentic sami food, followed by a drink in the bar where you can relax or simply read a book by the fireside.

The Village has snowmobiles available for hire,  husky dogs to take guests out to the mountains, boats and canoes to paddle out onto the lake in summer, horses and even their own miniature petrol station. With all these facilities available just next door to Swedish Lapland’s National Parks, the activities, views, peace and quiet and adventure available at The Arctic Mountain Village are second to none in the region.

There are some special events close to Årrenjarka and one of the most famous is the Jokkmokk Winter Market, which is a great event to add to your stay in Lapland. There is daily transport available from The Village to take you to and from Jokkmokk town centre.
