Rago to Padjelanta via Trolldalen

Actually, do you know why there is a big chunk of Sarek missing from the map?

Yes, it belonged to one of the very last spots of Sweden that was scanned (the height model is made by laser scanning from the air), and this model is apparently based on some older data. Since this is meant to be a tool for forestry (Skogsstyrelsen directly translated means "ministry of forest" but it acts as a ministry of forestry), updating the data in Sarek and other places up in the mountains is probably of a very low priority.

The forestry aspect could perhaps explain the distinct coloring of 30 degrees or more, my guess is that this is some extreme limit to what you can access with machines.

I hadn't seen the map from Skogsstyrelsen before, thank you for that.

Another map showing incline, with several colors, is Caltopo.

Hallo @adropofnature, i am reading this discussion and I am very interested if you have succeed in your attempt? I am planning to walk from Rago to Hellemobotn myself next summer and this might be a good option!

Hi @MaartenB91! Unfortunately, the pandemic made me change plans that summer. I have since not been able to test the ground there
