- A 5 days Packraft Adventure on the Border of Sarek National Park.
Rapadalen or Rapa valley in Sarek National Park is one of the most famous valleys in the Swedish mountain range. This time me, Matti, and some friends went with MRS Ponto packrafts to paddle to the Rapavalley.
I want to make clear that IT IS TOTALLY FORBIDDEN to paddle with canoe, packraft or any kind of boat inside Sarek National Park. We respect and follow the rules and we where only paddling outside the park and to the border of Sarek.
The delta, in Sweden called Rapadeltat consists of many different canals and small lakes and it’s more than enough to go with packraft for several days.
During this packrafting adventure we saw tracks from elks (moose), brown bears, otter and we also so many different kinds of birds.
This packrafting trip I did together with Melina and Micke who have followed on several tours before. Then also an old friend, Karen, followed and this was the first trip together for a very long time. We all had a couple of amazing days and we all enjoyed to be on tour together.

Watching your videos is pure entertainment + you're showing me a part of the world I barely knew existed.
I shake my head in disbelief every time I see you or any of your friends scoop water out of a source & drink it. I'll bet you don't even own a water filter.
Out here in the Western Part of America, it is dry & building campfires are strictly prohibited. Creeks have much less water flow in prior years, sadly. Ponds have dried up or are much smaller than in prior years, sadly. Carrying & using my water filter when I want to Camel-UP is as much a part of a day hike as it is during overnighters. I always have my water filter with me, it's as much a part of hiking in my part of the world as wearing a pair of pants.
I normally watch each video 3-5 times because they are so creative, beautiful, entertaining.
TH-cam channels like yours are few & far between. Thank you Matti/Stina for taking your time, effort, & equipment to show me the beauty of Sweden.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
Thanks again Bill!
You are totally correct. I have no water filter. We are so lucky that we can drink the water straight out of the nature. 😀
I'm so happy for this and this is a reason to fight for the nature. There is big companies who wants to open mines her in the area but we will stand up against this as long as it's possible.

💚nature💚nordics💚Sweden💚 Have been living in Sweden and discovering all its NPs, your video is stimulating good old memories…. tack så mycket and regards from Germany
Happy we could bring up some good memories for you.
Everything is enjoyable. All one ever needs is the company of a few good buddies and the beauty of ones surroundings. Thanks for sharing the beautiful surroundings you call home with us. Thank you 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching. It's so nice that we can share our experience online like this.

You did a great job making this video.Thank you.Beautiful nature and great landscabes.Packrafting is super cool.
Thank you! And yes packraft is a wonderful way of travel in nature. /Stina
Otroligt vacker miljö & en otroligt vacker naturfilm du/ni gjort, om ingen tidigare sagt till dig Matti. Du är en otroligt bra naturfilmare & en stor förebild för att så många som möjligt får uppleva denna vackra natur genom dina filmer. / Jocke.
Tack Jocke ❤️! /Matti & Stina
Now that my friend is an awesome adventure. Great footage and especially at the 2.15 min/sec I felt a real connection, I was almost in tears as I know what that feeling is like. You are a true nature guide. One day I hope to have the privledge of guiding nice folk in nature. With my dogs of course lol Epic
Thanks!
😀
It's good that it's possible to share this experience online like this.
There will be more videos. We will try to make one new film every week...

Fjället och packraft! Två favoriter, ska bli kul att se!!
Packraft är verkligen en ny kul och bra grej!!! Jag förstår att det är dina favoriter... fjäll o packrafts. 😀
/Matti
Terve Matti ! Thank you for this video. Such a beatiful place 🤩. i’m now planning summer 24 trip with packraft and maybe its time go Sweden this time. So spectacular views in there ! 🙌 i’ve been in vätsäri wilderness many times , which is probably the hardest wilderness in Finland but for packrafters its paradise. I was little surprised with one thing on your video. Backbags were sideways on the packrafts 😅. its more unstable when its that way. i did that too first , but couple of times the packraft flips over , when i landed from the lake. its more stable , when its lenghtwise in a bow. Then you have to put your feet underneath the bag, but its stable & easier to lift it to the land. Sorry about this ”hair splitting” 🙈 . Everything good for you and your partners to coming season and over that 😊
Thanks! That’s really good advice! We just got the boats and started to use them. We look how other make it and they have probably looked how other have made it… No brain… just believe that what you see is correct.
I don’t really get how you put the backpack. I have recognise the problem as you describe. The boat can easily flip when you step in and out of it.
I have to try to figure out how you have med it.
Right now we have around 6 months of winter until next time with packraft boats.
Thanks for advise!

Hej Matti
Tack för dina fina filmer.
Tittar alltid på dina filmer här. å blir alltid lika glad av dem. Har själv en packraft (Kepira 240) som jag är väldigt nöjd med. 2020 var jag med en av mina söner å vandra/packrafta i Padjelanta. En fantastisk rutt ner till Kvickjock. Detta året nöjde jag mig med att vandra/packrafta Silverleden vid Hällefors. När jag nu ser din film, så vill jag bara upp till fjället igen. Skulle det möjligen kunna gå att få en ungefärlig ruttbeskrivning av denna du gjorde med dina vänner. Blev så inspirerad av er paddling. Har blivit en härlig combo med packraft å vandring.
Än en gång tack för dessa fina filmer du skapar.
Mikael "Molle" Olson
Hej Mickael och vad roligt att du gillar filmerna. 😀
Området är lätt att hitta. Man kan korsa hit o dit i massa olika kanaler. Däremot ska man vara försiktig med vind... Blåser det ska man inte ut på sjön. Verkligen inte...
/Matti
great trip good weather when it counted
That trip was just amazing! 🙌😄
I agree... actually maybe one of the best trips this year as we was talking about out there.
/Matti
Tack för en supertrevlig film! Spännande m packraft. Skierfe m omgivn är verkligen 👌 Var där slutet av aug i 3 dar, strålande sol och spegelblankt.... galet vackert 😍
Vad roligt att du gillade filmen!
Då va vi kanske där samtidigt? Vi var där i exakt skiftet augusti/september.
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA undra om det var er vi såg när vi åkte båt m Läntha, några som campade på ön där (var 27-29 aug). Ser filmen igen, underbar! ☀️
Vilket äventyr! Helt i min smak! Inga kilometer jagades och ni såg bara ut att ha en fint tid! Bra filmat och otroligt vackra vyer du fångade! Måste ju va ett kanonställe att glida runt ensam för att spana efter vilt! Synd att ni inte såg björnen😅 och tråkigt med skräpet du hittade.. ha de bäst/Johan
938m från en tältplats till nästa och då finns det en lunchplats där emellan. Det är lagom. 😀
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA haha jo ja såg det😅👍 men de e helt rätt!! Man ser mer när man rö sig mindre😃👍
Beautiful video. How often would you expect to see those calm conditions there? No wind.
Thanks!
Calm weather… That’s a good question. Maybe never when I’m there… 🤣
No, seriously, I think it’s good weather more than most people expect. During the mosquito season wind is something that you want.
If we get hard wind… it’s maybe happening every week but mostly just during a few hours. It’s rare that’s windy or bad weather or super good weather during a whole week in a row.

Another really nice video, well done. Such a fantastic valley I was amazed walking all the way down it 2017, There aren't many forests than haven't been managed left in Europe. When I was there I found two sets of tracks, like very big dog tracks. One about as wide as my foot the other a bit smaller the size of a large dog. I didn't see any people in that area at the time, certainly no one with dogs. I think they were wolves but I'm not sure I've never seen wolf tracks before.
Thanks!
😀
It could have been wolverine tracks. They have 5 toes and wolf have 4 toes. Or it could have been a mamma brown bear with a young once. Did you made a photo?
/Matti
Sorry that didn't quite work. That's the same link three times if you use the white arrows you should get all three photo's on my flickr page.
Ahh! This is the trip I missed! Nice :-)
Yeepp... You really missed something.
But...there is no ice yet. We have to do something before the ice is here...
/Matti
Oh zo'n prachtige omgeving. 👌
Yes... super beautiful nature.
😀
/Matti
Ja het is fantastisch hier , ik heb 37 jaar in het zuiden van Zweden gewoond (Simrishamn) en nu ben ik in Jokkmokk sinds 2 maanden. Blijf een heel jaar hier om het werkelijk mee te maken hoe het is om hier te wonen. Woon een paar km buiten Jokkmokk en als je naar buiten gaat ben je in de natuur, maar natuur is eigenlijk nergens ver weg in Zweden zelfs in Stockholm ben je binnen een half uurtje in de natuur.
Hi:) Really nice video. So peacehul. Is there a reason you cannot padle in the np? im from Norway so i just Wonder why..
Thanks! It's just the National Park regulations that stop us from paddling in the park. It's for the protection of animals in the delta higher up in the valley. /Matti
12:03 Who could have know that the jock is wet and that will get your feet wet? ;D Another wonderful video, thank you! When did this trip take place?
Thanks!
Hahaaa... yes it's surprising that the river is wet... 🤣
This trip started in August en finish in September 2021.
/Matti
Ser ju supermysigt ut🙂👍
Detta med packraft är verkligen roligt. För mig som levt med friluftsliv hela mitt liv är detta som att bli barn på nytt. 😀
/Matti
tack så mycket - från Amman
Thans and nice that you liked it. 😀
/Matti
For a Norwegian you have some strange rules in this national park, you can't use a canoe or packcraft, go fishing or bring a dog in there if I have understood this right? Can't you make camp fires in the park either?
Is this common in other of the Swedish national parks and nature reserves?
Yes... there is big difference between Sweden and Norway. We have more strict rules inside NP than you BUT outside we can drive snowmobil and maybe it's more free hunting regulations in Sweden. It's also easy to get access the nature with helicopter in Sweden (outside NP). I think the best should be something in the middle maybe... If we were aloed to go fishing in Sarek people would fly to the boarder and than stay there for a week fishing... If it's only hikers who catch what they eat it's totally different in my opinion.
There is some difference between different nationalparks and different natur reservs.
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Yes, it's a little bit too free in some parks in Norway, or people don't care really and for instance make big camp fires in forest where it's illegal to remove trees like in Femundsmarka. Have to admit I've also done that some times. It's "ok" when only a few people do it but the last maybe 15 years or so after Lars Monsen made outdoorslife extremely popular a whole lot more people are outdoors frewuently, the wear in some areas is big and can really look terrible.
Sadly there are too many people who don't either care or don't know how to behave and leave few traces and no garbage.
persons like Monsen but also the internet has made nature more accessible with information about everything everwhere... before that it was easier to find your own places where few other went. The result is more wear on terrain, more garbage and less silence.
And the lapps(hope thats the correct name) have their own rules in some np's in Norway. Are they allowed to have their reindeers in Sarek and drive snowmobile there?
I am very happy one can't use snowmobile everywhere in Norway or go in by helicopter, it ruins the wilderness experience for me.
Me and my girlfriend had our holidays in late August in Børgefjell and Rago, which is close to some Swedish np's. Rago is one of the finest places I've been. I make campfires and fish, I wouldn't be in the mountains if I could not, it's a basic part of wilderness life for me. But if we go to Sarek maybe next year I will respect the rules.
That's an awesome adventure! What are the animals that you hear from 1:25 to 1:36? I did hear them as well from across Rapadalen last year when I hiked from Sitoälvsbron to Abisko via Kebnekaise (spent about 1 week in Sarek) - it was simply the best holiday of my life and i did travel a bit.
Thanks!
That's a bird called 'smålom'. They are fishing on the lakes together in groups. That bird is on the redlist over spices that need protection.
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Sweet, thanks a lot Matti! When I heard them I thought they were screeches of baby foxes or other 4-legged baby animals:)) So embarrassed now, nevertheless so glad to have solved the mystery 😊
Kommer försöka hinna följa med er på packraft nästa år, och förhoppningsvis får jag plats på någon slädtur till vintern!
Ja vad roligt!!!
😀
/Matti
I didn’t get the name of the lake where you started. Can you help me out? Is that a good put in?
The lake calls Laidaure, and it's 70-80 km north-west from Jokkmokk. Tell me if you doesn't find it! /Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA thanks a lot!
Verkligen nice Matti 👍
Tack!
/Matti
Är det era hundar som jag ibland hör ylar på eftermiddagen nånstans mellan Notudden och Matisudden men då på andra siden Älven ?
Nä det är inte våra. De du hör är Patrik o Sannas hundar. Vi håller till väster om Jokkmokk.
😀
/Matti
@@JOKKMOKKGUIDERNA Ok , jag är inte från Jokkmokk men ska stanna här 1 år för att uppleva hur det är att bo i Norden. Bor tillfälligt på Gärdan men ska flytta in till samhället när det blir vinter eftersom jag inte har en bil. Är född i Holland men har bott många år i södra Sverige.
why is it forbidden? what is the sinister secret they wish to protect?
The national park is set up to protect the nature and the animals. It's not set up to be a play-yard for outdoor people.
Higher up in the valley there's a huge delta land. Today its a refugee for wild animals and birds because people can't go there during the summer. I THINK that's the reason...

Hey, what is the name of the song at 5:11 thanks ?
