Description

Alajaure is a fairly inaccessible nature area on the boundary between forest and fell. The area here has an abundance of birdlife. This is partly due to the undisturbed character of the area, partly that there are both mountain and forest species. The nature reserve is 170 square kilometres in size. Snowmobiles are only permitted on snowmobile trails.
