Glittering sights
Arjeplog is home to the Silver Museum, where you can see the largest collection of Sami silver in the world, as well as exhibitions and picture shows. Here you’ll find Doktorsgården, the home of Dr. Einar Wallquist. A visit to Arjeplog’s pink church from 1641 is a must when visiting the area. The beauty of the many waterways surrounding Arjeplog will astound you. Buses make it easy to visit gems up in the mountain range, with Adolfström, Jäkkvik and Vuoggatjålme some of the place names that sound familiar. For an adventure with a difference, take a helicopter tour from Adolfström up the mountain and then hike back. During the summer several different kinds of tours depart from the little village Laisvall.
The forest culture of the Samis
