Paved dead-end road to the Sarek wilderness gateway.
Road 827, the Vägen Västerut, branches off the E45 near Porjus and runs paved to Ritsem, ending at the Sarek and Stora Sjöfallet national parks in the Laponia World Heritage area. The road follows the dammed Lule river through old-growth forest with mountain peaks rising toward the Norwegian border. Mind the remote dead-end with no services, reindeer on the road, and reduced winter access.
