Övernattning nära Låkkatjåkka

[ElSegis]

HELLO. We are a couple planning to go from Låktatjåkka towards abisko overnight near Låktatjåkkastugan. We have a tent but there should also be a shelter https://en.mapy.cz/s/kasacugujo. Do you think it is possible to camp near Låktatjåkkastugan? Has anyone done that hike in July? was it icy or easy to walk in hiking boots?

Hej
I have only passed there during the day (and later in summer) - camped further down in the valleys - but I think if you might find a spot to pitch your tent somewhere in the wider area around there.
The shelter? Well it came to the map from a source with a lot of scrap-entries https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/7125728380/#map=19/68.39848/18.46544 so I would not count on it. On the "normal" swedish map there is an empty triangel near Låktatjåkko Fjällstation which indicates a wind shelter (maybe not completely closed) but I did not keep an eye on it while there. The filled triangle further down in the valley is shelter that would be suitable to sleep in BUT this is only allowed in case of emergency.
If you switch to "Flygbild" on the map you get aerial images where you might find suitable spots to pitch your tent.

To my knowledge there is no shelter there, the structure in that
location is the wellhouse for Låktatjokko fjällstation. I made the hike from Björkliden to Låktatjokka 12. july 2021, and there was a lot of snow then, entirely possible to walk in boots, but there were some places where you had to be careful not to slip.
