A 450-kilometer-long hiking trail through northern Sweden.
Reviewed By iporze - Indiana, United States
I started on my solo hike in Abisko and branched off to Vistas from Alesjaure and then hooked back into the Kundsleden trail at Salka via Nallo, and then onto Singi and Kebnekaise mountain station. The trail was simply amazing, and the folk one meets along the way was very diverse. The after dinner hut discussions were funny as was the broad range of topics discussed. From Kebnekaise I returned to Singi and hiked over in Norway via Hukejaure hut which was closed when I got there. I had obtained a hut key for the norwegian huts and I did a circular route back to abisko via Gautelis, Unna Allakas back to Alesjaure and Abisko. An amazing series of trails that really lets one experience safe hiking above the arctic circle. The simple pleasure of just drinking from the streams without concern was a great as well. Instead of flying back to Stockholm I booked a private sleeper and enjoyed a great train trip thru Sweden as well, great way to end the trip.

Walk over the frozen sea and view Lulea from the seaside. Great experience and one of the highlights in Lulea in winter.

Very nice natural reserve where the main attraction is the rapids in the Pite river. You can also walk on trails and bridges a little away from the river itself. There are several prepared bbq sites. There is also a café also serving light meals open in the summer and a shop with local handicraft open the year around. You can also visit a museum show how timber was transported down the river and all its rapids from the middle of the 18 hundreds.

We found the Arctic Moose Farm on Trip Advisor and decided we’d like to visit as we were staying on the boarder in Finland. We called speculative to arrange a visit and was welcomed by Ola, the owner, who arranged to meet us at the farm. We were really pleased with the experience and would recommend it for two reasons, you can get up so close to these huge and gentle creatures. Oscar was a particularly big Moose who we fed with some carrots. Secondly we met Ola the who was an equally big character, he explained to us about the husbandry of moose and their lifecycle, told us funny stories and gave excellent moose call demonstrations (If you go you’ll understand my Title). Ola also introduced us to the family herd of reindeer. We were able to walk amongst them, they weren’t penned in so no fences. He spoke to us about how his ancestors had been Reindeer farmers for 100s of years and answered our questions. He also told us about how in his lifetime he’d seen the environmental conditions change for the worse, nature wasn’t able to respond quickly enough to the climate. This year he was having to supplement the reindeer diet as unusually wet weather in December 2019 had entombed the natural reindeer food in ice throughout the winter. We are a family of 4, inc two children 10 & 13 and we all enjoy these types of experiences, there were only 2 other people with us so this was more of a private and exclusive tour and guide. Finally we experienced a very important piece of Swedish culture, Fika, which is a break for coffee and a slice of lovely cake made by Ola’s wife. Thank you to Ola and his wife.

If you are in to trekking and mountain hike, this is the place. One of the most beautiful places in Lapland. Plenty of well marked trails to follow. The "Kings Trial" Kungsleden starts here at the Abisko Turist station.

Muttos is the land of vast mires and deep old-growth forests. It is known for its waterfalls, deep ravines, low mountains and forests where the trees have seen many generations of people pass by. In the Muddus/Muttos national park there is a summer trail system approximately 50 km long. In wintertime there are no marked trails, but the iced-over wetlands and snowclad forests attract many skiers who ski between the cabins that are open in winter. For you who bring a tent there are good tent pitches all over the area. Not far from Muddusagahtjaldak, the waterfall cabin, there is a prepared tent site with toilet and woodshed. There are also several picnic sites along the trail with a supply of firewood, toilet and fireplaces.
