It was decided to build it on sand ridges in Saltoluokta, one kilometer below the national park boundary and where Kungsleden (King's Trail) goes further south.
Saltoluokta's main building was designed by architect John Åkerlund, and it was built in 1918 and extended further to include about 70 beds.
Today, the station has about 100 beds and all modern amenities including a restaurant, a small shop and sporting gear rentals.
In the Nåiden service building may be found sauna facilities, showers, drying rooms and a self-serve kitchen.
At 6 km north of Porjus one would go west and drive the remaining 78 kilometers to Kebnats for further transport to Saltoluokta.
Saltoluokta is located at the lake Langas which is part of Greater Lule River and Stora Sjöfallet National Park.
At 10 kilometers upstream (west, northwest) is The Great Falls since prior to the dam construction it was one of Europe's largest waterfalls.
South along the Kungsleden Trail is Sitojaure which is a mountain hut operated by the Swedish Tourist Association, and from there one may continue down to Kvikkjokk and on to Hemavan.
Every year in late June is a music festival hosted at Saltoluokta where both well-known and local folk musicians go on stage.
