Vildmarksvägen – an epic drive on Sweden’s scenic Wilderness Road.
Sweden’s scenic Wilderness Road – also known as Vildmarksvägen in Swedish – is the country’s highest paved road, reaching 867 metres above sea level at its highest point.
The 500-kilometre circular route runs from Strömsund in northern Jämtland via Gäddede to Vilhelmina in southern Lapland, joining up with the E45 through Dorotea. The most iconic part of the drive crosses Stekenjokk Plateau, a protected Sámi heritage landscape where reindeer graze and rare bird species thrive. Good to know: This particular section of the road is only open from 6 June to 15 October each year, owing to the vast amounts of snow that fall in winter.
