Kungsleden – the Huts

The STF (Svenska Turistföreningen) runs a series of mountain huts (fjällstuga) along the Kungsleden trail. The huts are only open until the 20th of September but they all have an ’emergency hut’ which stay open year round which one is able to stay in.  Leaving Abisko and heading south, the first hut is Abiskojaure.

The drinking water on the Kungsleden comes direct from the rivers.  Here are the buckets of fresh water for drinking and cooking in the kitchen of Abiskojaure hut.

A much deserved hot meal awaits after a long and cold day on the trail.

Fire is the only source of heat at the huts.  Axe and uncut firewood in shed at Singi
