Adolfström
Adolfström is a small village, but one focused on fishing and hiking and has a few options for staying overnight and a small store.
Sights & Culture
Adolfström Hyttruin
When I got to Adolfström, the original silver mining town ruins were not even on google maps. It was only a chance viewing on Pokemon Go that lead me to to the entrance and the fascinating remains. A few buildings are there to explore, from the washing hut to the lumber mill (a familiar structure to any Skyrim players). Well worth the visit.
You can see its location on google now: Adolfström Hyttruin.
Restaurants & Bars
Adolfströms Handelsbod & Stugby
Offering a range of cabins from the tiny but cosy one I stayed into larger offerings for big families, Adolfströms Handelsbod & Stugby is run by Marianne and Jan Thorfve. Marianne runs the store and Jan, described as a genuine mountain man by his wife, offers a range of guided experiences.
The accommodation prices are very reasonable, the huts are well equipped and comfortable, and the shower block's showers were hot. Men's and Women's saunas are also generally available, though under repair during my stay.
The store is a mix of three things. For the hiker and fisher, there is a corner offering all the resupply you've come to expect on the trail, dried foods, beans and other provisions as well as other easy to carry snacks and various fishing equipment. Secondly, they have a wealth of retro ornaments and items. (Which can be bought on their online store too) While cool, they are impractical for someone walking the King's Trail to shop for and finally they have a range of local, fresh produce from reindeer meat to freshly baked bread (Strongly recommended).
Also, the store operates as a cafe and serves up a lovely Fika.
Adolfström Johanssons Fjällstugor
A little further from the lake, Adolfström Johanssons Fjällstugor offers accommodation and helicopter rides.
Adolfströms Camping
A large campground, focused on RVs rather than tents though offering space to both can be found on route to the Hyttruin.
General Camping
Opposite the bus stop, and right by the lake are two free camping spots with fire pits and benches available if you prefer to keep roughing it. There are also drop toilets by the dock.
Bäverholmen
At the other end of a boat trip, the restaurant Bäverholmen has plenty of space to camp if you'd rather have a cooked dinner than making something yourself in Adolström. The boat will drop you right off outside, though you're probably not getting back to Adolfström without paying extra for an out of hours trip.
Quite a few hikers will take the boat to Bäverholmen and camp to get an early start the next day rather than wait for the morning boat collection in Adolfström.
Sports & Activities
Helicopter Rides
Several of the accommodations offer helicopter rides out over the local area. Given the spectacular landscapes, it is something I wish I'd had time to arrange.
Kungsleden
A stopping and resupply point along Kungsleden.
