    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.
