This week we start something new, interviews with people conected to current events in the outdoor World. Today we start with Marit Sarri, the manager at Kebnekaise mountain lodge.
Marit Sarri Manager of the Kebnekasie mountain lodge.
-Hi Marit, today we got a new ”roof of Sweden. The northern peak of Kebnekaise has become the highest peak in Sweden. Can you see that the Tourists asking for going to the new top peak, and are you ready for that?
-Well, as we can se today people are not so interested of visit the northern peak. We can also see at the moment that the peaks will shift during seson wich one who will become the higest. Of the Tourist that today reach the southpeak, about 90% are satifyied with that. If you want to go the northern peak we can offer you that service with a mountain guide. But as I said, we can’t se any great need of that at the moment.
-Have you have had any discussion with the Environmental Protection Agency(Sv. Naturvårdsverket) about any fieldwork for safety and to easy up the ascending of the peak?
-We know that some places in the European alps got the same challenge in same places and we looking into that for getting ideas of what can be done.
-Does Kebnekaise will be less important vs Tarfala mountain Lodge due to that the lodge is closer to the norhtern peak?
-No, that mountain lodge do not have that capacity, and you will be able to reach the peak from Kebnekaise mountain lodge either via the Ridge from the southpeak or Nygrens route. We also want to have the Tourist so see more of the whole area as well. The Tarfala valley etc. And as I said Before we already got the service with mountain guides so you can reach the both peaks.

Interesting to see what she will say/know in 6-12month, but for us that have been on the south peek, that was higher than the north ever can be I’m not sure how ‘important’ it will be to go to the north peek. But you never know;-)
Spännande detta med glaciärer. Detta är just tema på naturmo ron där glaciärforskare diskuterar temat. https://sverigesradio.se/sida/avsnitt?programid=1027
