Sarek Winter Crossing, 10 Days to Kvikkjokk

Sarek Winter Crossing, 10 Days to Kvikkjokk.
Impressions of a winter solo tour on backcountry skis and snow shoes through beautiful Sarek National Park in Swedish Laponia (Norbotten). March 12 - 23, 2021.

Route:
Kebnats/ Saltoluokta Fjällstation (Kungsleden, road BD827 to Ritsem, served by LTN Bus 93 from Gälivare Train Station. This bus will run only seasonal starting about Feb. 20th for the winter season. Note: this bus line will not show in published schedules until February),
Pietsjaure (also: Bietsávrre),
Liehtjitjávrre (also: Lietit-Jaure),
Bierikjávrre (also: Pierikjaure),
Rapadalen (also: Ráhpavuobme),
Sarvesvágge,
Luohttoláhko,
Njoatsosvágge,
Änok,
Kvikkjokk (Kungsleden, road BD805, LTN Bus 47 to Jokkmokk all year service leaving at 5am from Kvikkjokk :-).
Total distance of this tour was about 108 Km.
I did not see anyone after Pietsjaure or saw any scooter/ ski tracks until about 10 Km before arriving in Kvikkjokk.
Temperatures were between 0 and -15 degrees Celsius, but mostly around minus 6 degrees during daytime. Most days were sunny.

If anyone is interested going on this route: I felt there are NO special skills or a great physical condition required to do this however I had very good equipment. For the 30 degree ascend to Luohttoláhko from Sarvesvagge - it is icy and not safe to do without crampons/ snow shoes. With a pulka it would also be too steep for going the other way round downhill to Sarvesvagge. Noajdevágge is most likely not safe due to possible avalanches (my opinion). Njoatsojåhkkå involves a lot of criss crossing snowbridges over the river and lengthy excursions into dense birches with soft snow so to avoid rock formations along the river and some water falls which you will not find in maps (check satelite images).
