The trail

Kungsleden was created by Svenska Turistföreningen (STF) at the end of the 19th century, in order to make people discover the sceneries of Lapland. It runs for about 440 kilometres (270 mi) between Abisko in the north and Hemavan in the south. It is well equipped and maintained by STF, having for instance large parts where one walks on two parallel planks to avoid muddy ground. Since it's so well maintained and rather flat, the trail is not considered as very difficult, but some wilderness experience and regular caution are of course required.

The trail is separated in four portions which represent approximately one week of hiking. The most practiced part is by far the northernmost, between Abisko and Kebnekaise. The season usually runs between mid-June and the end of September, but the weather can be very treacherous, including late or early snow.
