The King's Trail runs through Sweden's most beautiful mountain scenery and provides more than kilometres' worth of hiking adventure for the first-time hiker as well as the truly experienced mountain veteran. It is one of the world's most famous hiking trails, and the stage between Abisko and Nikkaluokta is the most-travelled trail in all of Sweden.
Sweden&#;s most famous hiking trail, Kungsleden, initially went from A to A. From Abisko to Ammarnäs, or vice versa. It was not until that the trail was extended to go past the King&#;s fishing spot at lake Tärnasjön in Sorsele municipality as well, and on to Hemavan. The Swedish Tourist Association (STF) began working on the King&#;s Trail back at the turn of the last century. In the STF yearbook from , you can read about it, marked on a map: “This will become the King&#;s Road through the Lapland mountain world”. 75 years later, it was all ready to go, and in the trail became part of the state mountain trail system.

Believe it or not, the Kungsleden trail (or Kings trail, which is in Swedish Lapland) was not our idea at all One day, Marine, one of Fabienne's best friends, sent her the link to a blog brev saying:
Look at that, the Kungsleden looks SOOO cool Wouldn't you like to do it with me?
I have to say that since our return from our round-the-world trip, Marine has had the great pleasure of hiking with Fabienne, first for a day and then a few pretty excursions over 2 days with a night in a hut. I guess she got a taste for it and wanted to step up her game. But since she had also read somewhere that there were bears in Swedish Lapland, she also thought it would be nice to have some travel companions just in case #NotCrazyMarine 🙂
And as you can imagine, you shouldn't offer us twice a nice vandring in partial autonomy in one of the least populated places on the planet A few weeks later and after having embarked my sister on the adventure, here fryst vatten the complete #chattingHiking grupp with 4 plane tickets in their pockets to Kiruna, in the very north of Sweden.
