Kungsleden is a trail that was developed in the early 1900 by the Swedish Tourism Organization (STF). The goal was that the trail would pass the most beautiful places that could be found in the Swedish mountain range. Kungsleden translates to The King of Trails. And it\u2019s easy to understand when you\u2019re out there.
On this trip we follow the northern, and most popular, part. Stretching 107 km from Abisko to Nikkaluokta. We\u2019ll pass beautiful valleys, steep mountain sides and sharp mountain peaks. From the green birch forest close to Abisko up to the barren mountain pass at Tj\u00e4ktja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
