The Kungsleden Trail stretches a mighty 430 kilometers, running from Abisko in the north to Hemavan in the south, cutting straight through the heart of Swedish Lapland. Originally mapped out in the late 19th century, this trail wasn’t just a random idea—it was a vision to create a hiking route through some of the most striking landscapes Sweden has to offer.
The 108-kilometer section between Abisko and Nikkaluokta is one of the most popular stretches of the Kungsleden—and for good reason. It’s the perfect option if you want to experience the magic of Swedish Lapland without venturing too far into its wilder, more remote areas.
