For the first time during the hike, we got up early and started at 7:15 AM, determined to complete the final stretch. Since camping isn’t allowed in Abisko National Park, we planned to finish the hike today and maybe catch an earlier train. The morning sun was already intense, with temperatures climbing

We started late, around 11 AM, after waiting for our gear to dry on a sunny day. Ensuring we had enough food in case of an extra day in Abisko, we set off along the Alesjuare lake.

Nikkaluokta to Kebnekaise, Kungsleden Day 1, Sweden
We arrived in Nikkaluokta, an hour from Kiruna, around 13:30, deep in Sami Country, and were met with rain. After weighing our bags (around 12kg each, excluding water) and filling our bottles, we started our hike towards Kebnekaise Fjällstation, mindful of the weight we'd carry over 100km. We received a…
