Kungsleden South — Frosty glaciers and endless nature

5 days

3-9 h/day

100km

2,140m

The southern part of the Kungsleden winds its way through the Jämtlandsfjäll region in central Sweden, only a stone’s throw away from the Norwegian border. And while the northern part of the so-called King’s Trail is walked by thousands of hikers each year, the chances are good that you can enjoy the southern part as the road less traveled. What's interesting, however, is that despite the lesser-known reputation, this part of the trail is in no way inferior to its northern brother, with the first few sections from Storlien to Fjällnäs being especially stunning. On the five-to-six-day hike through the Sylarna and Helags mountain ranges, you can admire Sweden's southernmost glacier and enjoy spectacular views of mountain peaks.

For adventurers, there are great wild-camping opportunities with a view over the endless expanse of the Swedish mountains. For friends of a cozier atmosphere, the mountain huts of the Swedish Tourist Association STF offer all the comforts one could wish for - from fantastic food to the post-hike-sauna.
