From the far north out of Abisko toward Alesjaure, expect mostly overcast skies with frequent snowfall, ranging from fine flurries to longer, heavier spells. Temperatures generally sit between -15 and -5°C; colder snaps follow clear nights, while an occasional mild pulse brings slightly wetter snow. Visibility often drops in passing snow bands, with short brighter lulls.
Climbing over the high ground around Tjäktja and down through Sälka and Singi, the pattern continues. Regular light to moderate snow is interspersed with a few heavier bursts, and cloud cover is widespread. Clear windows are brief and the cold remains persistent, so fresh cover is common.
Through the lake country of Kaitumjaure and Teusajaure toward Vakkotavare and Sitojaure, systems keep rolling through. Overcast days dominate, and several bring substantial snowfall that can build quickly. Any thaw is short-lived here, and most precipitation continues to fall as snow.
Near Aktse, Pårte, and Kvikkjokk, conditions become a touch more changeable. There are quieter, drier interludes between snowy days, and you may find a little more brightness. Brief mild spells can make the surface snow wetter before colder air returns.
Further south past Jäkkvik and Pieljekaise to Hemavan, the weather oscillates between calm cloudy stretches and active snowy periods, with high sections sometimes seeing heavy dumps. Sunshine breaks through at times but usually yields to returning cloud. Near the end of the route, milder pulses are more frequent; some afternoons flirt with freezing, yet nights typically restore a wintry feel.
