Make sure you don’t miss Silver museum, a collection of Sami silver which also helps to give you an overall
picture of our beautiful area..		     

 

Glittering sights
Arjeplog is home to the Silver Museum, where you can see the largest collection of Sami silver in the world, as well as exhibitions and pictures shows. Here you’ll find Doktorsgården, the home of Dr. Einar Wallquist. A visit to Arjeplog’s pink church from 1641 is a must when visiting the area. There are guided tours adapted for Inlandsbanan, the highlight of which is a tour to Galtispouda, which affords views of an area of around 130 km in all directions (departures on Thursdays). The beauty of the many waterways surrounding Arjeplog will astound you. Buses make it easy to visit gems up in the mountain range, with Adolfström, Jäkkvik and Vuoggatjålme some of the place names that sound familiar. For an adventure with a difference, take a helicopter tour from Adolfström up the mountain and then hike back. During the summer several different kinds of tours depart from the little village Laisvall. The bus timetable can be found at www.ltnbd.se.

The forest culture of the Samis
Slagnäs. Visit Båtsuoj Sami Centre, which is a beautiful, peaceful site situated by a bewitching lake. Here you can meet reindeer and find out more about their care, and about shamanism, a faith based around nature followed by the people through the ages, and about many other elements of Sami culture. If you are looking for something more, you are welcome to spend the night in a traditional Sami tepee-style tent and participate in the various activities in the Sami village or in the forest. Travellers heading for Båtsuoj should alight at Slagnäs. Please call + 46 (0) 960-65 10 26 for collection.
