Day 5 - Kebnekaise to Nikkaluokta

After breakfast at Kebnekaise, we begin the gentle descent to the trailhead at Nikkaluokta. The route mostly across the frozen surface of Ladtjo Lake is hampered by strong icy side winds and dodging between oncoming snowmobiles.

In Nikkaluokta, we wait for the bus in the comfort of the small café. The bus soon arrives and our next stop is clean clothes in Kiruna!

Ski Touring on Kungsleden, the King's Trail, from Abisko to Kebnekaise was a unique opportunity to immerse ourselves in the dramatic scenery of this remote region in the full glory of a Swedish winter.

Distance: 18.6 km
