Hiking with children in Sweden – Kungsleden hiking trail
Activities: We hiked the Kungsleden from Kvikkjokk to Saltoluokta. The hike was approximately 80 kilometers and took four days. We set up camp near a lake and a glacier river. We crossed a lake by boat and climbed the Skierfe with its spectacular views of the Rappadelta
Highlights: The rawness and remoteness of the landscape and the time spent together as a family. "We sang, we discussed and we philosophized." The views from the Skierfe and the encounters with reindeer and elks were highlights ✨
