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…
It’s only accessible by this one road
Go down here if you want mountains
Camp here in your van
Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/fcyhzWHYbfLtMqxy9
From here you walk
19km hike to Sweden’s highest mountain: Kebnekaise
Part of the Scandinavian mountains, known as the ‘Scandes’
Don’t head back before sunset
Instead make a fire
Cook some food
And enjoy the show
Walk home in the dark
Where the Aurora continues into the night

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.

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