Saw a snake (viper) on my way to basecamp right after we'd checked in last year too, so they live out there alright. Still, we can consider ourselves lucky in Sweden that we don't have too many venomous animals, and those who do carry venom are usually not lethal (unless you're allergic of course, o...

Furhermore, all of you who smoke during Berget, plz take care of your cigarette butts. This is both due to potential fire hazards AND to prevent littering I presume?
