Kårsavagge is a glacial U-shaped valley west of Abisko. From the tourist station or Abisko East station, hike about 15 km along the Kårsa river valley to the STF cabin in the valley, taking about 4-5 hours one way. Further west, you can look out at Kårsa Glacier. Along the way, you'll find waterfalls, alpine lakes and birch forests, and reindeer are often seen. It suits experienced hikers, who can stay overnight at the cabin or loop back via Björkliden.
