Kungsleden Trail: Abisko to Nikkaluokta

The first day is a nice warm-up, taking you from Abisko to Abiskojaure. The path leads through lovely birch forests and follows the Abiskojåkka River, making you feel like you’ve stepped into a postcard. It’s a relatively easy day, so enjoy the calm before the real adventure begins! When you reach the Abiskojaure hut, you can kick back by the lake and think about how you’ve only just begun. Don’t worry—the best is yet to come!

Now the real trek begins! From Abiskojaure, the trail starts to climb as you head toward Alesjaure. The scenery gets more dramatic, with big open valleys and lakes that will make you stop in your tracks. Sure, there’s a bit of uphill, but think of it as earning your dinner at the hut. And yes, there’s a sauna at Alesjaure, so it’s time to sweat out the hike and enjoy a good night's rest with views you won’t forget.
