Overview
STF Såmmarlappa Fjällstuga is a mountain lodge operated by the Swedish Tourist Association (Svenska Turistföreningen, STF), located along the Padjelanta Trail (Padjelantaleden) in Swedish Lapland. The hut sits just a few metres from the bank of the Tarraälven river, in the Tarradalen valley, an area known for its rich wildlife, particularly predators such as lynx and wolverine. The lodge is a classic STF fjällstuga: simple, self-catering accommodation in multi-bed rooms with bunk beds and wood-burning stoves, staffed by a hut warden during the season. It has a total of 18 beds, comprising a guest cabin with 16 guest beds and two storage buildings, the larger of which contains a safety room with two beds, a stove, an emergency telephone, a small shop and a wood shed. There is no mobile phone coverage at the hut. The surrounding area offers hiking, wildlife watching and, in winter, ski touring, with a notable excursion to the rapids of the Tarraälven about a kilometre away and a challenging route up to the summit of Måskásgájsse at 1,724 metres above sea level. The hut is part of STF's network of mountain lodges across Sweden and is bookable through STF's website. It holds a guest rating of 4.6 out of 5 based on 31 reviews.
