Arctic Trail

My next hike is in less than 30 days (1st Aug) and is to a new area for me. Northern Scandinavia and the Arctic Circle. I will be following the Nordkalottleden Trail, or Arctic Trail as it’s often called. This starts in Kautokeino (Norway) and threads it’s way south through the Arctic Wilderness, crossing between Finland, Sweden and Norway 15 times before finishing at Kvikkjokk (Sweden). This trail is rarely thru-hiked and there’s little information available in English. 

Arctic route includes the Nordkalottleden and Kungsleded trails
