Meeting Point & Check-in

You will also collect your food and gas for the trek and leave any extra luggage for transportation to the finish in Abisko.
We want you to feel prepared and confident before starting your trek. During your time in Kiruna, you can listen to inspiring lectures, have a break in the café, meet other trekkers and make any last-minute gear adjustments.

At the Start
We provide bus transportation from Kiruna to Nikkaluokta, and the journey takes approximately one hour. The buses depart from Kiruna between 07:00 and 11:40. It is important that you take the bus that depatures at the day and time that you reserved when buying the ticket for the event since all buses will be full.
Upon arrival in Nikkaluokta, you will have time to make your final preparations before setting off on your trek. You can weigh your backpack, enjoy a coffee and grab some snacks, speak with our event hosts for any last-minute advice and finalize your plan for the day.
Before heading out, pass through the start tent to receive your first stamp in your Trekking Passport. There you will also receive your orange safety sheet, which identifies you as a Fjällräven Classic participant and grants you access to services at the checkpoints. Once that’s done, the mountains are yours to explore!
During the Trek
Along the trail, there are five staffed checkpoints in the following order: Singi, Sälka, Tjäktja, Alesjaure, and Kieron.
At each checkpoint, you must:
  • Stamp your trekking pass
  • Record your arrival time in the guestbook
These checkpoints serve as important waypoints, providing support and ensuring your safety throughout the trek.
After about 5 km, you will reach a Sami settlement at Ladjújávri where "Lap Dånalds" serves reindeer burgers. Many hikers have enjoyed their last fresh meal here during their hike.
If you plan to summit Kebnekaise during your Fjällräven Classic participation, it's possible, but it will take a full day and a lot of effort!
Boat transports
In Ladjújávri, Andreas Sarri offers a boat transfer across Lake Laddujávri. Taking the boat is a great way to rest your legs while enjoying the approximately 6 km journey across the water, with a unique view of Kebnekaise from the lake.
In Alesjaure, a small boat transfer across Lake Alesjaure is operated by Roland Enoksson. This crossing saves you approximately 6 km of hiking.
Note: The boat tickets are not included in Fjällräven Classic and must be purchased on-site.
Camping
You are free to camp wherever you like during Fjällräven Classic Sweden, but we recommend camping away from the STF mountain cabins. However, there is one important exception: the last 15 km of the trail runs through Abisko National Park, where camping is prohibited except at Nissunjåkk, 5 km from the finish. Please make sure to plan your campsite accordingly.
Withdrawal
You can withdraw from Fjällräven Classic Sweden at any time, but since this is trackless land, you will still need to walk back to Nikkaluokta or continue to Abisko. Please contact a volunteer at a checkpoint or if you do not meet any volunteers call the info number in your Trekking passport.
At the Finish
The finish line and Trekker’s Inn are located at Abisko Mountain Lodge. Once you’ve made it, tired, proud, and full of memories you’ll receive your final stamp in your Trekking Passport and collect your Fjällräven Classic patch and pin. Here, you can also retrieve your luggage and, if not already arranged, purchase your transfer back to Kiruna. The bus schedule and ticket link will be shared closer to the event.
After finishing, take some time to enjoy Abisko. Stop by STF and Naturum to learn more about the area and its unique nature. And don’t miss Trekker’s Inn, the perfect place to relax after the trek. Enjoy music, food, and drinks, meet fellow trekkers, and take part in the prize draw if you have weighed in your trash bag!
The finish in Abisko closes officially on Friday, August 14th at 12:00 PM. If you would need more time to finish your trek, then that's no problem. You still succeeded to do the Fjällräven Classic Sweden and we will happily send you the patch and pin that you earned!
