Small-game hunting in the Vindelfjäll mountains
Ammarnäs Guidecenter is a hunting organizer and in our area there is access to large hunting grounds for ptarmigan and forest birds. Small game hunting is growing steadily at Guidecenter and we promise you the best experience when you turn to us.
At Guidecenter we book up the area to give you as a guest access to your own hunting area. Read more about 'Mountain hunting' on the County Administrative Board's website.
In the area around Ammarnäs there are uniquely large areas open for ptarmigan hunting thanks to close cooperation with the Rans and Grans Sami villages.
Hunting Guide Magnus Engdahl
Magnus has many years of experience from the Vindelfjäll area regarding ptarmigan hunting with pointing dogs. He has about 100 hunting days annually with his hunting-tested Pointers and works from August 25 to March 15 when he is stationed in Ammarnäs.
Magnus and Guidecenter's ambition is to conduct ptarmigan hunting in a long-term and sustainable way where a viable bird population is sought. Much of this happens in close cooperation with the Sami villages in the area. The goal at each hunting occasion is to achieve harmony between nature, hunters and dogs.
Magnus is very familiar with several optimal hunting areas that can be reached easily without helicopter transport.
