  • INFORMATION SHEET Kungsleden Abisko – Nikkaluokta with Guide
    INFORMATION SHEET Summer 2021 Kungsleden Abisko – Nikkaluokta with guide Kungsleden Abisko – Nikkaluokta with guide A classic hike on the Kings trail with a chance to climb the highest peak in Sweden! The summer in the Swedish mountains is short but something extraordinary. This time of the year it is bright during the days and most of the nights and the temperature is comfortable to hike in. In late august and in September the temperature will start to drop, and the nights turn dark. With the darkness you will get the chance to experience the northern lights, and during the days you get to experience the vivid colors of the autumn dressed Swedish mountains. If you feel like an extra challenge, you also have time to climb Sweden’s highest mountain – Kebnekaise. The northern part of the Kings trail goes from Abisko National park, full of wildlife, heading south towards Kebnekaise’s massive alpine peaks. During your hike, you will walk through some of Sweden’s most beautiful valleys, surrounded by mountains and glaciers as well as rivers and beautiful nature. It’s important for us that we know that you’re in good and healthy condition due to the fact that on some days you will hike 20 km or longer, and some parts also with quite some difference in heights. It is also preferable if you have experience from hiking with a backpack. You will carry your own belongings and, at most, food for two days, which means that your backpack’s weight will increase with 1-2 kg from your original packing back home.

  • An 8 to 14 Days' Summer Adventure in Swedish Lappland Kungsleden
    An 8 to 14 days' summer adventure in Swedish Lappland Kungsleden Now we are able to offer you the opportunity to get to know the varied beauty of Lappland in a specially intense way. During 2 weeks, you will cover about 350 km on foot, on horseback and by boat. The adventure starts by a hike through Sweden's high mountains. After that, we will saddle Icelandic ponies and ride from the high mountains to lower terrain until we reach the river Kalixälv. From there, we continue our journey in rubber boats, first in calm waters, but after some time we will also master some small rapids until we get to Parakka. You are going to travel on one of Lappland's rivers that are most abundant in fish and, among other things, you will have the opportunity to do fishing from the rubber boat. During the hike, we follow the famous trail "Kungsleden". We start in Abisko and walk till Nikkaluokta. Our journey takes us over high mountain passes and through elongated valleys, past clear mountain lakes with drinking water quality. We will also see camps of the Sami people and touch the area of Kebnekaise mountain. The hiking trail is easy to manage. We will spend the nights in tents or huts. The distance we cover per day will be approximately 18 km. From Nikkaluokta, we will ride to Puoltsa on Icelandic ponies. The ride takes us through open, tundra-like mountain landscape as well as through birch and pine forests. During the riding tour, we spend the nights in typical Sami tents.
