Vildmarksvagen (Wilderness Road)
342AC 1067Stromsund to Vilhelmina · Jamtland / Vasterbotten
Sweden's highest paved through-route over the bare Stekenjokk plateau
Vildmarksvagen, the Wilderness Road, runs about 360km from Stromsund in Jamtland via Gaddede and the open Stekenjokk plateau to Vilhelmina in Lapland. Crossing Stekenjokk at around 876m it is described as Sweden's highest fully paved through-road, climbing above the tree line into reindeer country with waterfalls and big-sky tundra. The high plateau section between Leipikvattnet and Klimpfjall is gated and only open roughly mid June to mid October because of deep snow. Mind the seasonal closure dates, reindeer on the open plateau, and long stretches with no fuel or services.
