Kåtavikens grottstig is a 4km long trail which connects various caves. The tours are organized by Tärna fjällturer and require physical fitness and some basic mountaineering knowledge. The tours require decent walks to reach the caves, as they are located on the Tärna fjäll, an undeveloped highland at the border to Norway. It is also a karst area with many caves, and as Sweden lacks major limestone areas, this is one of the most important karst areas with numerous caves.
The visited caves are Labyrintgrottan and Sotbäcksgrottan, which are among Swedens longest caves. Sotbäcksgrottan is probably the most difficult cave tour at Kåtaviken.
