Nallo, in Northern Sami Njállu, is a mountain in the Stuor Räitavagge valley, which lies in the Kebnekaise area of Sweden. Seen from the Vistasvagge valley in the south east, one part of the mountain has a characteristic, extremely sharp appearance which has given it its Sami name, which in English means The Needle.[1] The mountain reaches to 1585 meters above sea level.[2]
The top of the mountain can be reached from north-west without any particular equipment; this requires merely a hike through rough rock terrain. The top of the "needle", however, is about a hundred meters lower in elevation than the actual peak and climbing it requires exposed scrambling on a narrow ridge.
The Swedish Tourist Association owns a cabin at the foot of the mountain, Nallostugan.
