Vildmarksvägen (wildernessroad) (sometimes also called the Stekenjokkvägen often only used by people living in Stekenjokk which crossed the Vildmarksvägen) is a tourist road which goes between northern Jämtland and southern Lapland.[1] Vildmarksvägen goes trough Strömsund and to Klimpfjäll. Parts of the road is closed because of during winter at times because of heavy snow which can reach seven meters.[2]

The road

Vildmarksvägen goes trough Strömsund to Gäddede to Road 342 then through Jormvattnet and Stora Blåsjön and Stekkenjokk and on to Klimpfjäll.[3] From there it goes on to Kultsjön and Saxnäs via Stalon and lake Moalgomaj on to Vilhelmina.[4] Parts of the road through Kalfjället is closed at times during winter because of heavy snow.[5] When crossing Vildmarksvägen in Strömsund, people cross an area heaving the greatest concentration of bears in Sweden.[6]

Because of its altitude, knots and gnats do not exist in the region.[7]

In 2012 the Frostvikens Fjällpark was open in Gäddede as part of the Vildmarksvägen.[8] Vildmarksvägen also hosts the Bjurälven nature reserve.[9]
