STF Kebnekaise Mountain station

For over a century, the mountain station has stood here, 19 kilometers out on the bare mountain plateau in northern Lapland. A welcoming oasis in the middle of a majestic landscape, where generations of hikers have found shelter, rest, and companionship after a long day on the trail. You come here for the adventure and the challenge – but also for the stillness, the silence, and that unique sense of freedom that only the mountains can offer.

The journey to Kebnekaise Mountain Station begins in Nikkaluokta, where the road ends and the wilderness begins. Whether hiking or skiing, it’s a rewarding day trip to get here. If you want to continue to the Kungsleden trail, it’s a full day’s hike westward from the station. Along Kungsleden, you’ll reach Abisko or Saltoluokta in 4–7 days.

After a day in the mountain air, full of reflection and perhaps many vertical meters, you can settle down by the fire and let your mind wander. In the evening, a delicious dinner awaits before you drift off in a cozy bed.

Stay together in charming century-old dormitories, or choose a more comfortable two- or four-bed room. In the main building, you’ll find multi-bed rooms, while the nearby annexes offer rooms for two or four guests. If you’re travelling with a dog, we of course offer dog-friendly rooms. Toilets and showers are available in all buildings except the main one, but not directly in the rooms. If you stay in the main building, showers are available in the service building, where you’ll also find the sauna and relaxation area – both with stunning views. No matter where you stay, you always have access to the sauna and relaxation area overlooking the mountains.

In our restaurant, Elsa’s kitchen, you can enjoy all meals of the day. Each morning, a generous breakfast buffet with freshly baked bread from our own bakery awaits. Enjoy a hearty homemade lunch or prepare your own packed lunch, and don’t miss our popular dinners featuring local ingredients like wild game and fish. A vegetarian option is available daily.
