Hiker with poles and a full pack walking a wooden boardwalk across open fjäll, mountains ahead. — Typical Kungsleden terrain — boardwalks across the wet stretches, open fjäll all around.

Route & Elevation

Map of the full Kungsleden trail from Abisko fjällstation to Hemavan, with every hut marked along the route. — The full Kungsleden, Abisko–Hemavan. Our hike covers the northernmost stretch — Abisko fjällstation down through Sälkastugan and Kebnekaise fjällstation — then leaves the marked trail for the Nikkaluokta path to finish.

Approximate elevation, Abisko to Nikkaluokta. The solid line is the 107km trail; the dashed spur is the optional summit push on day 7.

Elevation, Saltoluokta to Nikkaluokta (STF, official). Gentler than the Abisko route — 780m against 1150m — with a boat crossing near Teusajaure, and most commonly bus + boat instead of walking on day 1.
