The Kungsleden (or King’s Trail) long-distance hiking trail in Sweden’s far north - one of the country’s most famous and most popular long-distance hiking trails. This iconic route runs roughly 500 km north to south through Swedish Lapland’s dramatic and incredibly scenic arctic landscapes. Set in some of the most remote regions within the Scandes mountains, the trail traverses vast open plateaus, lush alpine valleys and endless dense forests. All in all it takes about one month to complete the entire hike. However, there are several options to access this trail along the way for some shorter section hikes. All of the major access points at Abisko, Saltoluokta, Kvikkjokk, Jäkkvik, Ammarnäs, and Hemavan can be easily reached by car or even by bus.
