History
Katterat Station

The station was built in 1902 and it was originally called Hundalen. In 1951, the station was renamed Katterat which is based on Northern Sami: Gátterčohkka. There is no road to Katterat station, the only arrival is by train or by foot. Until the operation of the track was remotely controlled in the 1960s, there was a small, permanent settlement on site. Today the area is popular for hiking providing cabins and several hiking trails starting at Katterat Station.[1][2]
