Kungsleden

The Kungsleden, through Lapland's mountain world, starts in Abisko and ends in Hemavan after just over 400 km. Ammarnäs is a natural place to rest your feet for a day or two if you hike the entire trail. The stretch between Ammarnäs and Hemavan is excellent if you want to do a slightly shorter hike and maybe fly back to the starting point with a regular helicopter lift. The Kungsleden between Ammarnäs and Hemavan is 78 km and Ammarnäs is the natural starting point for a weekly hike to Hemavan.

Five manned cabins along the road, both winter and summer, allow you to pack your backpack easily and simply.

After 2.5 km along Aitenasvägen, a path goes up to the right (just before Guoletsbäcken). Now you enter an old pine forest from the 18th century.

Here Grans Sameby had a reindeer slaughterhouse. Today it is used in mid-September when the crocodile slaughter takes place.

Here, the northern Kungsleden goes towards Adolfström.
