Hey everybody! In de meantime, I created my own in-depth, no-nonsense hiking guide of the Kungsleden. You can find it here: floordenil.com/en/product/kungsleden-gids/ Have a loooooovely trip, everybody! X

Kick-ass. Great tips since I can’t always get away for weeks at a time. Erg bedankt!

You are such a great printer! All around a fantastic presentation. Thank you. And your English is superb! Happy Trails

JUST HIKE THE WHOLE TRAIL, the whole way is wonderful!! Couldn’t choose a favourite part.

Hahaaaaa totally agree with you on this one 🙈

At first: its cool that you still talk about the Kungsleden cause its a super-duper wonderful video! I follow your videos now for a whole time. Most impression for me was your hike of the west highland way. I always looking for an adventure, just grab a backpack and live from what you have in your bag. I also love the highlands, but i have only see them on pictures or videos. Until April last year! I felt like I need a break of the usual days and so i decided to walk the WHW. I wanted to hike it alone like you did, but then a friend of mine mentioned he would join me and so we hiked together. Positive thing! Cause it was my first long distance hike and we helpede each other when we were in a bad mood (you know, slippy and stony trails and so on :D) To resume: it was such an experience, i dont have words for it! Next goal will be the Kungsleden in September ! Spending time with watching your kungsleden video and hoping that corona will pass. So, take care of you on your hikes and stay calm. 😁✌️

Hi Dave! So great that you’ve chosen the Kungsleden this year. You won’t regret it!! Have fun and be safe too :).

Swedish speaking person here... your pronunciation was actually good for most of the words :)

I'm not first I know, but your Swedish accent is not a problem cause this places do have names that almost no-one in Sweden can pronounce. 😉 Great videos, so impressed that you have the energy to film your hiking. 🙂

And also had some knee issues ! Happy to know I wasn't the only one

It’s so great that you’ve started uploading regularly now! I’m hiking Kungsleden this summer, and I was wondering how the possibilities of charging a camera and a phone are?

Hey Erik! So nice that you want to hike the Kungsleden. You can recharge at every mountain station and every ‘village’ you cross on the way. That means roughly: Ammarnäs, Jäkvikk, Kvikkjokk, Saltoluokta (and of course Hemavan and Abisko). Have fun!! Glad you like my videos :).

love you, u most wonderful thing on de planet.

You're hilarious! The pronunciation of the Swedish places... 👌🏻😁 Good info. I'm thinking about thru-hiking or doing a section of the Kungsleden later this year in preparation of my thru-hike of one of the bigger trails in the US next year. Your previous vids of the Kungsleden are very helpful, thanks!

Hey, leuke video. Heb vorig jaar een deel van de kungsleden gedaan en vertrokken vanuit Abisko, hiking in prachtige natuur en meren alsook de Kebnekaise beklommen. Dit jaar hopelijk Mont blanc.

Hi! Really Nice vidéo! Where did you find the boats’ schedule? Especially for section between Ammarnäs and Kvikkjokk

I don't really care about this video, because I hiked the whole Kungsleden last summer but I'm still so nostalgic about it that the least I can hear people talking about it, I will listen! My friends must be tired of me talking about this hike... So keep talking about it, I feel understood😂

Hahaha I feel you so hard on this one. The reason I make these videos is so I have one more chance to be nostalgic about this trail 😅

Fun Vid! I'm going to hike the whole trail at the end of June. If everything gets better :) I would rather hike it in late Aug/Sept, but that time doesn't work well for me. :( Just more mosquitos (I HATE THEM SO MUCH)!

Yeees, good choice of trail! Hopefully there aren't too many mosquitos by that time :). Enjoy your hike!

Very nice vidéo! Already hiked the Abisko-Nikkaluokta section last September, but now planning to do all of the Kungsleden to get ready for the PCT (that I am so looking forward to hike). Do you know if there is a book about the Kungsleden? Showing maps and advice about it ? I found myself stuck a lot of my time with my tent because I was going through swamps (so couldn't pitch it anywhere), I think having a book and more precise maps could help me avoid that :)

Ciao Floor, thanks for your suggestions, really useful. I would like to try Kungsleden next August ... What temperatures did you find on the various routes? colder in the north or south? morning? at night? And what is the comfort temperature of your quilt? Thanks in advance. Marco

Hey Marco! Generally speaking, the temperatures in the South are warmer than in the North. On top of that, temperatures in higher elevations are lower than in lower elevations. For example: Kvikkjokk is the lowest point of the Kungsleden, so the hottest (with most mosquitos!) and Tjäktja Pass is the coldest (especially because it's located in the Northern part of the Kungsleden). From Singi on I had a couple of freezing nights. The coldest one I encountered was at the end of my hike at the end of August just after Singi; it was -8°C that night. Other nights are mostly between 0°C and 5°C (at the end of August).

I had one of my most memorable dinners at the saltoluokta hut. Nice food, nice conversations. Got good advice from a local guide against mosquitos: coconut butter cream from the body shop. It really works! Next morning at the ferry pont i was so impressed by the surrounding mountains and lake, tears came and i couldn’t hold them. Hope to return there one day.

I really enjoy your videos on the Kungsleden and will hike it myself this year. Did you get the chance to see the northern lights by any chance and if so do you have any tips on how not to miss them? Thanks and stay safe :)

gabriel kas to be able to see the northern lights it has to get pretty dark outside, and you won’t get that if you’re hiking in June-July (because midnight sun). You’re way more likely to spot the northern lights during winter, but might get lucky enough to experience it during the shoulder seasons.
