Kungsleden

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.

Petter Karlsson Sleddogs

Reviewed By 802alexanderu - London, United Kingdom

It was an unforgettable experience! We went on a 3-Day Tour which was exciting but still family friendly. Our guide Luka was a great companion for the tour. He was very friendly and knowledgable and you could really feel his passion for the dogs. His cooking was also great - the moosemeat sauce was delicious. But probably my favourite part of the trip were the dogs. They were extremely kind and patient. And in addition to being amazing at pulling the sleds they also loved being pet and were absolutely adorable. You could really feel the care and passion being put into training the dogs and I miss them (especially Godzilla) already.
