Kungsleden: Abisko - Hemavan

[annejulie.andersen.9]

Hej! Myself and a friend are trekking the entire Kings Trail, from Abisko to Hemavan this Juli/August.
We were wondering if any of you can answer these questions:

- How long will it take, approximately ?
- Is it possible to ship resupply boxes to the huts along the way? If so, which ones?
- If not, is there any other way of picking up food along the way?

Any tips are much appreciated!

Thanks.

I have not walked the entire kings trail but when we walked we carried food for less than 1 week.
There is not many places you can send resupply boxes but there are some cabins along the way that sells food and snacks (pretty expensive).
You can use this map to plan when you resupply http://www.kebnekaise.net/bilder/kungsleden-karta-av-stf.gif the cabins with a square around it indicates that the cabin sells food.
Some cabins accept debit carts but i don't think all of them do.

How long it takes depends on your pace. If you are hardcore you'll be done in two weeks (33 KM per day) but if you want a slower pace and some zero days then maybe 4-5 weeks.

How experienced are you?

Its not very difficult but its really beautiful.

Happy trails
