Sweden – Hiking the Kungsleden

 

Where to stay:  In the cosy STF Huts along the way. Or even better, pitch your own tent in the most stunning locations anywhere along the trail.

Where to eat: Cook you own outdoor meals, buy some reindeer or smoked fish at one of the Sami villages, or try out the famous three course dinner at the Fjällstation in Saltoluokta.

What to do:  Hiking, ouf course. And stay up at night to see the northern lights or watch the resident moose near Kaitumjaure Hut.

How to get there: take the overnight train from Stockholm up north.  Starting/Ending points for the most northern part are Kvikkjokk, Vakkotavare or Abisko. For bus/train connections and bookings see http://www.sj.se
