Description
“Hiking in the Mountains Around Kebnekaise, Abisko, and Riksgränsen ” is a comprehensive guidebook for anyone who wants to explore the spectacular mountain regions around Kebnekaise, Abisko, and Riksgränsen in Swedish Lapland. The book is written in Swedish and serves as both a detailed planning tool and an inspiring hiking guide for first-time visitors and experienced hikers alike.
The area includes some of Sweden’s most popular mountain regions, where easily accessible DNT-style mountain huts are combined with alpine peaks, dramatic valleys, and vast wilderness areas. Here you’ll find classic sections along the Kungsleden, as well as an extensive network of lesser-known routes that take you far off the beaten path.
Author Fredrik Neregård has spent over twenty years exploring the area and four years working on this book. He has systematically mapped valleys, assessed fording points and campsites, identified the best routes to the peaks, and photographed the landscape throughout all seasons. The result is one of the most detailed guidebooks ever published for this area.
The book describes more than 50 hiking trails and highlights unmarked paths, recommended fording spots, and the best routes to the mountain peaks directly on the maps. It also includes chapters on the area’s geology, nature, and history, suggestions for multi-day hikes, and hundreds of inspiring photographs. The illustrations are based on excerpts from actual mountain maps, making the book a valuable resource both at home while planning and out on the trail.
*Hiking in the Mountains Around Kebnekaise, Abisko, and Riksgränsen* was written by Fredrik Neregård, a nature photographer and one of Sweden’s most renowned authors on mountain hiking.
