Sarektjåkkå (Forvo.com: Sarektjåkkå) is the second highest mountain in Sweden and the highest mountain in the Laponian area at AMSL. However its mountain peak is the 3:rd highest mountain peak in Sweden, because the two highest peaks in Sweden belongs to the mountain Kebnekaise at 2,097 (North Summit) and 2090 meters (South Summit). The mountain is located close to the eastern border of Sarek National Park, about southwest of Suorva.

Climbing Sarektjåkkå is not easily accessible by any nearby roads, so the approach normally takes a day or more of backcountry hiking.

Accessing the north summit, at altitude, is a moderate but steep hike up. The actual summit (Stortoppen) is located about southwest of the north summit via a ridge and is not as easy to reach, requiring exposed scrambling. An alternative route is to scale the summit from the south by merely steep hiking, but this requires crossing glaciers.
