August 23, 2023,🇸🇪 Kungsleden, Teusajaure - Vakkotavare

Today the more serious work. The stage starts with 1 kilometer of rowing followed by more than 14 kilometers of walking with a lot of altimeters. The stage was really impressive. You are on the road for 7 hours and it is quite heavy, but so beautiful. The crossing was dry, but the first 1.5 hours of walking it rained …

June 30, 2025,Kungsleden Etappe 1 / Vakkotavare- Teusajaure //16,35km

This summer, I fulfilled a big dream.
From Vakotamare in Swedish Lapland, I was supposed to hike the Kungsleden Trail to Abisko. (Wrong direction)
This section is planned in 8 stages.
Since there is no cell phone reception, electricity, or running water on the entire tour, I decided not to record it on Komoot and am now posting the tour …

July 16, 2023,Kungsleden 2023 - Day 5 - Teusajaure-Vakkotavare

The route offers us a long climb of eight kilometers which quickly extracts us from the birch forest to the highest point at 1000 meters above sea level. The crossing of a plateau between scree areas and small mountain gouilles offers a rather spectacular view of the Sarek National Park, its snow-capped mountains and its glaciers. All under a still …

September 17, 2022,Hiking Day 8/8 Kungsleden

The last stage begins with a lake crossing. You can either row yourself or let the STF host drive you across the lake in a motorboat for €10 per person. A steady subsequent ascent leads over a long pass into the valley back to Vakkotavare. Also one of the most beautiful stages of the Kungsleden!

September 27, 2021,👑 Kungsleden 👑 | Vakkotavare - Teusajaure

So from now on we go on alone, which is quite strange at first. 😱

From the STF mountain station in Ritsem I take the bus to Vakkotavare for about an hour. There I get on the northern Kungsleden, the last eight stages of which should lead me up north to Abisko.

July 4, 2022,🇸🇪 Kungsleden, dag 5, Teusajaure - Vakkotavare, 04.07.2022

Mosquitoes, mosquitoes, mosquitoes... Very aggressive, very difficult... Altimeters again today, at the highest point it was nice and cool, with a wind that the mosquitoes don't like...
It was tiring again and it seems that the Swedish kilometers are much longer than the Central European...😜
Usually I slept in my tent, the cabins are spartanly furnished
In the meantime: I …

July 4, 2025,🇸🇪Kungsleden - Tag 22 - Vakkotavare Teusajaure Fjällstuga

The hike from the STF Vakkotavare hut began at 12 noon sharp – and the day left no time for a warm-up: Right from the start, a steep climb with a gradient of up to 18% awaited us. In just two kilometers, we climbed more than 200 meters. The narrow path led us over rock slabs, through a dense birch …
