Hut to hut Ski trekking with pulka and sleddog in the Abisko national park – close to Sweden’s highest peak – Kebnekaise

The Kungsleden is one of the most famous and most hiked trails in Scandinavia and leads from Abisko in Swedish north to Hemavan in the South. The skiing trail leads through beautiful fjell areas and mostly above the tree level. Through large mountain valley and high plateaus and with only little real ascending. With a little bit luck, it is still possible to see northern lights in this season. An unforgettable experience north of the polar circle we experience with our real friend sleddog, who pulls our luggage in a pulka… as a skier we are attached behind the pulka – like this the power of the sleddog often support also our skiing efforts!
