Kvikkjokk (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈkvɪ̌kːjɔk])[1] (Lule Sámi: Huhttán)[2] is a small village situated in Jokkmokk Municipality, Norrbotten County, Sweden.
Kungsleden passes through the village and it is a popular starting point for hikers going into Sarek National Park.
The first Swedish settlement in the area came after 1659 when it became known that silver was present in the nearby mountain Silbbatjåhkkå (Kedkevare).
Areas to its north that share the proximity to the Norwegian border have greater maritime moderation with milder winters and quite a bit cooler summers.
Kvikkjokk instead is quite reminiscent of Lapland's largest town Kiruna in terms of climate, only with wider temperature swings.
