Solo Hiking the Kungsleden trail in Sweden

ABOUT THE TRAIL
The Kungsleden is a hiking trail of 400 kilometers in the north of Sweden. Some 250 kilometers of the trail are located above the Arctic Circle, meaning that for much of the hike you'll cross impressive, wide open landscapes.

When I hiked the trail in August 2022 the weather was exceptionally wet, even to Arctic standards. Often, the trail was completely soaked. I hiked the 150km stretch between Kvikkjokk and Ammarnäs with completely soaked boots. The views were amazing though and I'm glad I pushed on as I was rewarded with a balmy Indian summer for the last stretch from Ammarnäs to Hemavan.

I hope this video gives you a good impression of what it's like to hike the Kungsleden.

It's an amazing trail with scenery. I need to look up the map on it. But I got to hike Mont Blanc first before I can think about seeing Kungsleden.

[MoritzBaldes]

Amazing video about a really interesting trail. How hard would you say is the Kungsleden?

[hanslindvall]

Nice upload m8, your workshop looks interesting that you have on your website as I am interested in photography, living in Sweden, never been in the northern/Sweden besides my military service 79/80, the only hikes I've done are in Bad Gastein/Austria 2019 and 2023 which was wonderful, hopefully going to Fulufjället in Sweden late August this year, take care !
