Kårsavagge is small and cosy and lies beautifully down in a magnificent and secluded valley. Kårsa means ravine, which reveals true due to the impressive precipices surrounding the valley. The hut is one of STF’s oldest and ghosts are rumoured to be here.

Whether the ghost rumours are true, we don’t know, but John Bauer got the inspiration for his trolls on the way to Kårsavagge Valley.

The area around the hut is easily hiked, though if you want to go out of the valley, the climbing is essentially strenuous in every direction, if you don’t return towards Abisko. A few challenging routes go from STF Kårsavagge to Låktatjåkkå hut. You can go over the ridge southeast to STF Abiskojaure on Kungsleden (Royal Trail). Visit the Kårsajökeln, a glacier with endless moraines and a beautiful delta.

STF Kårsvagge is an ideal outing from STF Abisko Mountain Station. After a tour on the chairlift up to the bare mountain region, it’s easy hiking to the mountain hut.

You cannot book a bed in a mountain hut. You are, however, guaranteed a roof over your head. There are extra mattresses for those days when all the beds are taken.
