One cottage beside the car road to Ritsem, where Kungsleden reaches Suorvajávrre. It is typically employed as a start or end point for travellers on said trail, who seldom stick around for long. The shop which has previously been here was retired during the winter of 2021.

NOTE: There is no open room in this cottage during the off-season months, and neither is there an assistance phone.
