The local trails start from Ammarnäs Nature Center, where there are trail descriptions, information and experienced guides. This trail goes from Ammarnäs to Långflytje.

The trip to Långflytje is suitable for those who want to get up to a beautiful viewpoint without having to spend too many hours hiking.

Take the bridge over Tjulån and follow the trail to Entré Kungsleden. Then follow the Kungsleden for about 800 m and turn off towards Långflytje 2.5 km. When you leave the King's Trail, the path becomes smaller and wetter, good boots or boots are recommended. The tour now goes largely through forest. At times, the hike goes over marshes and here there may be both cranberries and cloudberries. After walking through forest and over marshland, you finally reach a ledge that offers a magnificent view of Ammarnäs, Lake Gautsträsk and the Ammarnäs delta. The place is excellent for a coffee break so don't forget your lunch bag. However, remember to be careful at the edge of the ledge, children as well as adults.

The area around Långflytje is in some parts very calcareous. This is evident from the plants that thrive here. For example, you can find golden saxifrage, mountain rue, orchids and mountain laurel. The mountain laurel is protected and smells of vanilla. Mountain angelica also grows in the area, a plant that is very rich in vitamins and iron and was widely used as food by the Sami in the past. There is also a lot of torta or tolta as it is also called locally.
