Hikes in the Midnight sun summer 2017
The King’s trail Abisko-Kebnekaise
A classic hike on the King’s trail!
Join us for a hike during the period when the sun never settles! It’s generally very calm on the trail and in the cabins this
early in the season. You’ll get to see new flowers brake their way through the ground every day. Easily described as
really fantastic time to be hiking in the mountains! If you feel like an extra challenge, you also have time to climb
Sweden’s highest mountain – Kebnekaise.
The northern part of the Kings’s trail goes from Abisko Nationalpark, full of wildlife, heading south towards
Kebnekaise massive alp tops. During your hike, you’ll pass by some of Sweden’s most beautiful valleys, surrounded by
mountains and glacis as well as rivers and beautiful nature.
It’s important for us that we know that you’re in good and healthy condition due to the fact that some days are 20 km or
longer, and some parts also with quite some difference in heights. It’s also to prefer that you have earlier experiences
from hiking with a backpack. You’ll carry your own belongings and, at most, food for two days, which means that your
backpack’s weight will increase with 1-2 kg from your original packing back home.
Experience the midnight sun! 27/5-18/7 Climb the highest peak in Sweden!
