Geocache Description:

This is a cache series placed along the hiking/sking route "Prinsleden" as laid out by Gunnar Andersson and Lasse Thulin in a Swedish turist magazine.


Prinsleden - Bajip Čazajávri 

In the northern end of the Vistavaggi you will find a couple of lakes on the route between Alesjauri and Vistas lodges. There are a couple of campsites on the northern shore of Bajip Cazajavri if you would like to get out of the hustle and bustle of the big Alesjaure lodge.The southern end of  the Vistas valley ends at Nikkaloukta.

A slight distance from the cache you will also find the abandoned Tjatjajaurekåtan, a samic lodge.

The hike then continues towards the next cache Prinsleden - Várdu. On route you may also want to pick up the cache GC1VC68 – Vistas Mountain Hut at  N 68’01.875 E018’35.711. 

The cache before this one is Prinsleden - Gárddečohkka.
