Kungsleden, also known as the “King’s Trail,” is a famous long-distance hiking route in Swedish Lapland. It stretches approximately 440 kilometers from Abisko in the north to Hemavan in the south, passing through stunning Arctic wilderness, mountains, forests, and Sami cultural areas. The trail offers breathtaking views, opportunities to see the Northern Lights in winter, and a unique chance to experience the pristine natural beauty of Swedish Lapland. It is popular among hikers, nature enthusiasts, and adventure seekers seeking both solitude and spectacular scenery.
Girl Outdoors produced this video last year. “I hiked a section of the Kungsleden across Swedish Lapland this summer with Fjällräven whilst travelling around the Arctic Circle – wild camping along route and witnessing reindeer & the sami people! The highs and lows of human powered adventure”.
