Kungsleden - Hiking the last wilderness of Sweden

In September 2022, I hiked south to north (Hemavan - Abisko) the full length of the Kungsleden, the famous King's Trail in Sweden. I started when everything was green, and finished where all the vegetation had the autumn colours. The first week I hiked it with Céline, my best friend.

The Kungsleden starts in Hemavan and crosses several vegetation areas, the largest birch tree forests in Europe, lots of lakes, rivers, mountains, and ends up north in the fjäll of Northern Scandinavia, in the town of Abisko.

A journey of 430km (not including boats) and 18 nights, all but one spent in my Nemo tent.

Highest temperature: 22C
Lowest temperature: -7C
Longest day: 37km

Main gear (for anyone who's interested)
- Nemo Hornet 2P
- Cumulus sleeping bag
- Thermarest air mattress (the short one)
- Zpack backpack
- Camera: Sony EZ V10
- Lens: Zeiss 25/f2
- Drone: Mavic air mini 2
- Additional footage with iPhone 11 Pro
