Hiking 440km on Kungsleden in Sweden

Nice to see some genuine swedish weather and not just the sunny sunset vids 😊 Kungsleden is like the main highway for hiking swedish mountains, lots of people and huts along the way. Nice filmed!

[@AaronRossPhoto]

Thank you Mats!

[@davidborgstrom]

Beautiful video. Interesting sidenote, if you did not already know: the reason the Scandinavian mountain range isn't as "alpine" as a lot of other mountains, like those in New Zeeland, are their age. They were once a part of the oldest mountain range in the world, together with what is the Scotish Highlands and the Appalachians. Way before the Atlantic Ocean split up.

[@AaronRossPhoto]

Thank you, David. I did not know that they are some of the oldest mountains in the world - that is fascinating!

Aaron, this is incredible :) First of all, I'm happy to be part of this video, at 22:09, and glad to hear that the motivational boost went both ways. I was really thrilled for the rest of my trip, thanks to meeting you! At 18:01, I'm on the other side of the valley, facing you! kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH3CfHiPg5yLfrM hahaha It is also wonderful to see you walk the same path as I did, but in reverse, and notice the places where I had lunch, or slept... and how the landscape had already changed so much to autumn colors... I must also admit, I struggled to keep my video under 40 minutes (initially planned for under 30!) because I was afraid that long videos might be boring... However you have proved me wrong, by creating something twice as long and constantly engaging... Hats off to that my friend! PS: What amazes me, also, is how I still enjoyed it so much despite knowing the whole trail! ⛺

Thank you very much for this splendid video, Aaron! Many decades ago I hiked from Kvikkjokk to Abisko, and later been ski-hiking from Abisko Southwards. Your video is the most beautiful one I've seen about hiking along Kungsleden. Especially the drone sections are breath-takingly wonderful. You got a new subscriber from Finland 😊 P.S. Been once to your amazing country, unfortunately for a far too short time, and only to the North Island.

[@WayfaringInTheWild]

Thank you for a well made and entertaining video! A bit unfortunate for you that it happened to take place on one of the wettest summer seasons we've had for some time. I remember planning a long distance hike called the Green Ribbon (Gröna Bandet in Swedish) that year, but because of the bad weather I postponed it. If you ever come back this way it's something I can recommend. It's a pick your own route type of hike and follows the entire mountain range in Sweden.

Thank you for a very fine film from your walk through Kungsleden. I liked that you had parts where you talk with locals and othe companions. I also liked the dramatic ending with the dark colurs and the U-shaped valley. You should have taken a day more in Aktje and walked up to the mountain Skjerfe to get to see the view fron there. It´s said to be the most beautiful in Sweden. Myselt I walked frpn Saltoluokta to Kvikkojokk last summer and I will never forget the views.

It is beautiful and magical. As a swede living much more south I still feel ties to this area as much of my family stems from north Sweden. I walked part of Kungsleden ( aka pensionärsleden) together with sn uncle, aunt and two younger cousins when I was 14. Must have been summer but I remember it being pretty cold and raining part of the trail. Foggy and rainy once we got closer to Kebnekaise. Remember starting from close to Kiruna, taking a boat across a lake, not sure which one now. Loved it!

[@danielfinnigan2984]

How many times did you have to go back and get the camera? This is very impressive work Aaron, absolutely, simply, breathtaking. There is a creator, without him nothing was made. It can be rather nice walking in the rain, just you and the elements of nature, the wind on your face and so on, it has its challenges, in the end, that's what makes it worthwhile. You know that feeling, when you just got to breath it all in, soak in that moment, that kind of thing. When I was young like yourself Aaron I too could just walk for hours on end, it would drive me nuts if I couldn't go on a daily walk somewhere. It's great to see you really enjoying and living life to the full, it's times like these that can give one that sense of fulfillment. Again, simply breathtaking, way to go Aaron 😎

[@AaronRossPhoto]

Many times, but it was worth it :) Thanks so much for your kind words! I absolutely agree

[@kingazych5997]

It was pure pleasure watching this movie. Thanks to you, I have no idea what trail to chose for the next year, Lycian Trial or Kungsleden ;) Anyway - good job ! If you visit Europe again , I recommend you GR11 in Spanish Pyrenees. It's epic trail.

Hey, Aaron! Amazing video, I love it! Have hiked Kungsleden myself a couple of times, you’ve done an excellent job at catching the atmosphere especially for autumn, which is just the best time of you’re lucky enough to not get too much snow yet.

Thanks for sharing, incredibly well done and beautiful. ❤ I have a question, how was it to use trail runners for this hike seeing the weather and how uncompromising the mud/water can be in fjällen?

[@AaronRossPhoto]

Thank you! The trail runners have definitely proven themselves to be great hiking footwear in all conditions. While they aren’t waterproof, they do dry fast, and I prefer them over heavier footwear like hiking boots. Hope this helps answer your question 🙂

I walked between Singi and Sälka this summer as part of a different hike. September is by far the best month. When I was in Singi in July, it was very very hot and teaming with mozzies, I could barely eat! I want to try September for sure, looks amazing.

Fantastic film! May i ask what tent you were using and why you left didnt use the tent from the gear film of yours?

[@AaronRossPhoto]

Thank you! I was using the MSR Hubba 1 Person tent. The tent in my gear video was used on Te Araroa during the summer months in New Zealand. I opted for the MSR as it was a bit more durable, warm and because it is free-standing (internal poles instead of using hiking poles to set it up). Probably going to use the MSR on most future hikes as well from now on, as it’s still super light.

[@ronbackal]

Hi Aaron! I was planning to go in June for a week in Abisko, and stay in the hostel and make day hikes, then I saw about the Kungsleden. I am a little worried to take a challenge like that because I didn't camp much, though there's the option of huts at least in some places. How did you prepare for this journey? Thanks Ron

[@AaronRossPhoto]

Hi Ron, thanks for your comment. I knew I wanted to walk the entire trail when I was planning for the walk. I tented the whole way, not staying in huts and bought my food at the STF mountain huts and villages along the way, carrying on average around 3 or 4 days of food at a time. No need to hike the full trail if you don’t feel up for it. Abisko National Park and Sarek National Park were my favourite areas, with Abisko being a bit more popular I believe, so more people around to talk to/feel safer. I hiked in the autumn (September), as I wanted to avoid the insects that I hear can be quite bad in June-August.

[@ronbackal]

@@AaronRossPhoto Thanks for replying. I signed up for an organized tour of the northern section of Kungsleden in the end, and I am planning to come at least a week before to stay at Abisko and make day hikes. Your video is amazing, I want to take my FX3, trying to think how to keep it safe. P.S. I have in plan for the winter(your summer) to go to New Zealand or Patagonia, I didn't decide yet.

[@rosblackmore5422]

Another fine film Aaron! I thought the drone footage, as well as being beautiful, really helped me understand the landscape you were walking through. I love the thought of going there but I'm guessing it wasn't a cheap trip?

[@AaronRossPhoto]

Thank you Ros, I thought so too 🙂 Flights weren’t cheap, however if you tent without staying in the (expensive) STF Huts, it isn’t too bad in price.

[@marcinkowalczyk8717]

​@@AaronRossPhoto How did you obtain permit to flying drone within national park?

[@AaronRossPhoto]

@@marcinkowalczyk8717 I did not require a permit to fly my drone, as I did not fly in any restricted areas, such as Sarek National Park. I did have my drone registered though, and obeyed Swedish Drone Laws.

[@marcinkowalczyk8717]

@@AaronRossPhoto I see at least two shots made over Abisko National Park, hence my question.

[@AaronRossPhoto]

@@marcinkowalczyk8717 Yes, as far as I believe, I did not need a drone permit for Abisko National Park. I did however need to register my drone for EU airspace and follow the drone laws in Sweden (fly below 120m, stay away from airports, etc). Sarek National Park was also the only area on my drone map that was red and therefore restricted airspace and does require a permit, and that is why I did not fly there, but I did fly in other areas of Kungsleden. If you would like to know more about drone use in Sweden, I suggest googling it.

[@medeinabirgilaite1122]

Hi Aaron! Such a beautiful and very inspiring video! I've been watching it for research as I'm thinking of hiking the Kungsleden on my own as well :) And I have been in awe throughout! I have a couple of questions if you don't mind! 1. What were you guys discussing at 28:50? Seems a bit stressful :) Was it about sending food packages to yourself? Is it tough to buy proper food on the trail? 2. How did you deal with wet clothes? Seems like you had quite a bit of rain. How did you manage to get everything dry overnight in the tent? Thanks so much!

[@AaronRossPhoto]

Hi, thanks for your kind words! To answer your first question, yes, we were talking about sending food parcels. However, I only wanted to do this as I wasn’t too sure about food availability on the trail at that time (late in the season). Turns out there was still plenty of food in the mountain huts and cabins and some towns have small supermarkets, which help. So, I didn’t send any food parcels, just bought food along the trail and also made sure to stock up well when leaving Stockholm. Yeah, I had about 7 or 8 days of rain off and on, haha. I use light and generally quick drying materials for my shoes and clothes, which helps a lot. Usually my shorts were a bit damp the next morning if I stayed in the tent (is what it is), but my rain jacket would cover my upper body, so my shirt wouldn’t be wet at all. If it was a very wet day, I would try and see if there was a hut or emergency shelter that I could sleep in, which I did a couple of times. Wet socks are the worst, which I unfortunately had to deal with for a few days. Hope this helps! Have fun on trail!

[@AaronRossPhoto]

Thanks! Haha, it is all worth it for the perfect shot! It was a mix of cash and card. Most STF Stations took card and some of the boat rides, but it is necessary to carry cash just in case and for other boat rides that only take cash.
