Dundret is a sub-mountain (823m above sea-level), situated just outside of the town of Gällivare, in Gällivare Municipality, Swedish Lapland.
Dundret is also a skiing, conference and adventure establishment in Gällivare, 100km north of theArctic Circle. The skiing facility has ten slopes of varying degrees of difficulty. In addition there is a ten kilometre cross-country skiing track.
The skiing season at Dundret normally stretches from the end of October to the end of April or early May. For this reason, many national skiing teams start their training season at Dundret. Over the years many first-class skiing competitions have been held at Dundret, both alpine and cross-country.
The top of the mountain can also be reached using a motor road. From the western top, in clear weather, an eleventh ofSweden’s surface area is visible. The midnight sun is also visible from the top, from early June to mid July.
This entire mountain area was declared a nature reserve in 1970. The upper region is formed by bare mountain areas above the tree line where weathered gravel of gabbro forms part of the visible bedrock. A number of distinct alpine plants are found here. The flora around Dundret and the slopes Björnbacken and Hebrokursbacken are lush and rich in species. The creeks gush down the slopes through mountain birch and spruce forests. Clumps of osier, marshes and small lakes create variation. The southern side of Dundret is the most pristine area of the reserve.
The name Dundret comes from the Finnish word for mountain “tunturi”, which in turn comes from the Sámi word “tuoddar” (sub-mountains).
