VANishing into Swedish lapland – by campervan and foot

Welcome to the sami village of Nikkaluokta in Swedish Lapland.

No one is here this time of year (November). I drove here in my van to experience the swedish wilderness… and incredible night skies

We stayed for a several days camping in the van until the cold was unbearable and the roads faded into the landscape due to snow.

So let me show you Nikkaluokta, by campervan…

Nikkaluokta is here…

If you want Swedish mountains and amazing hikes, Nikkaluokta (the above) is where you go, as well as Abisko. These are the two main entry points to the Swedish mountains, and access to The kings Trail.

See post: The Wonders of Abisko National Park – by van & foot

Nikkaluokta is definitely a place to come back to in Spring or autumn when it’s not so dangerous to do the longer hikes.
