The first part between Jokkmokk and Vaimat follows the E45. It’s a paved road, but the traffic intensity is rather low. After about 7 km you pass the Arctic Circle. During summer, there is an open café and shop here, and if you have a car, this could be a good starting point.
After the small village Vajmat, you turn right on an unpaved road that will take you north-west to the Karasj-road. If you’re not in a hurry, it could be a nice spot to take a break at the bridge over river Pärlälven (then turn left a few hundred meters, instead of right).
When you turn right, you will pedal on a paved road with some unpaved sections back to Jokkmokk
