After 20 kilometres, that will probably sound even better than it does from behind your screen.<\/p><\/div>\n\t                                                                    <figure class=\"tb-wysiwyg__image\">\n                            <img src='https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/79\/2026\/10\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland-1024x683.jpg.webp' width='1024' height='683' alt='northern lights over snow-covered mountains and cabins in Swedish Lapland' srcset='https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/79\/2026\/10\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland-1024x683.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/79\/2026\/10\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/79\/2026\/10\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/79\/2026\/10\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland-1536x1024.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/79\/2026\/10\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland-18x12.jpg.webp 18w, https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/79\/2026\/10\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland.jpg.webp 2048w' sizes='(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 800px' loading='lazy' decoding='async' data-smush-webp-fallback='{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/king.travelblox.eu\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/79\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland-1024x683.jpg&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/king.travelblox.eu\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/79\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\\\/\\\/king.travelblox.eu\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/79\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\\\/\\\/king.travelblox.eu\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/79\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\\\/\\\/king.travelblox.eu\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/79\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\\\/\\\/king.travelblox.eu\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/79\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\\\/\\\/king.travelblox.eu\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/79\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/northern-lights-over-snow-covered-mountains-and-cabins-in-swedish-lapland.jpg 2048w&quot;}'>                                                    <\/figure>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"tb-wysiwyg tb-block align-left background-light pattern-none variant-none tb-collapsible-margins\" id=\"even-landen-wat-is-die-fjall-eigenlijk\" data-tb-block=\"wysiwyg\">\n    <div class=\"inner-block tb-fade-in tb-fade-in--subtle\">\n        <div class=\"tb-wysiwyg__inner tb-wysiwyg__inner--highlight\">\n            <div class=\"inner-block\">\n                                    <!-- <div class=\"icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/var\/www\/prod\/public_html\/wp-content\/plugins\/tbx-plugin\/blox\/wysiwyg\/..\/..\/images\/wave-1.php \" alt=\"Lamp icon\"\/>\n                <\/div> -->\n                    <div class=\"icon\">\n                        <i class=\"fa-kit fa-tb-lightbulb\"><\/i>\n                    <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"text-part wysiwyg\">\n                                            <h4>A quick introduction: what exactly is the fj\u00e4ll?<\/h4>                                        \t<div class=\"translation-block\"><p>On the way to Alesjaure, you enter the <strong>fj\u00e4ll<\/strong>: the bare mountain landscape that defines so much of this trip.

The trip is over, but names like Abiskojaure and Tj\u00e4ktja now mean much more to you than they did when you were just reading a route description.<\/p><\/div>\n\t                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"tb-wysiwyg tb-block align-left background-light pattern-none variant-none tb-collapsible-margins\" id=\"groep-a-of-groep-b-dezelfde-route-ander\" data-tb-block=\"wysiwyg\">\n    <div class=\"inner-block tb-fade-in tb-fade-in--subtle\">\n        <div class=\"tb-wysiwyg__inner tb-wysiwyg__inner--highlight\">\n            <div class=\"inner-block\">\n                                    <!-- <div class=\"icon\">\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/var\/www\/prod\/public_html\/wp-content\/plugins\/tbx-plugin\/blox\/wysiwyg\/..\/..\/images\/wave-1.php \" alt=\"Lamp icon\"\/>\n                <\/div> -->\n                    <div class=\"icon\">\n                        <i class=\"fa-kit fa-tb-lightbulb\"><\/i>\n                    <\/div>\n                                <div class=\"text-part wysiwyg\">\n                                            <h4>Group A or Group B: same route, different rhythm<\/h4>                                        \t<div class=\"translation-block\"><p>You choose your group when booking. <strong>Group A heads straight onto the trail on day 2.<\/strong> Group B first walks a local loop around Abisko Turiststation and begins the route to Singi a day later.

On this trip, you sleep in wilderness huts maintained by the <strong>Svenska Turist F\u00f6reningen<\/strong>. Don\u2019t expect a hotel room, but a simple place that fits perfectly into the landscape you\u2019re trekking through.<\/p><p>The huts have a wood-burning stove, a shared kitchen and sleeping areas with bunk beds. There\u2019s also an emergency phone, as there\u2019s no mobile reception here. Some huts have a small shop selling essentials. Useful for topping up supplies, but not something to rely on for all your food and snacks.<\/p><p>There\u2019s usually no electricity or running water. You collect water from a hole in the ice near the hut. Suddenly, an everyday task becomes part of your adventure. First, head outside to fetch water, then return to the warmth of the stove: life hardly gets simpler.<\/p><p>That\u2019s exactly what gives the Kungsleden stages their own rhythm. By day, you\u2019re out on the trail; in the evening, you share the hut with your fellow travellers. Your destination is more than a name on the route: it\u2019s where you warm up and rest for the next day.<\/p><\/div>\n\t                                                                    <figure class=\"tb-wysiwyg__image\">\n                            <img src='https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/79\/2026\/10\/wooden-cabin-in-snowy-swedish-lapland-mountains-with-ski-tracks.jpg.webp' width='907' height='605' alt='wooden cabin in snowy Swedish Lapland mountains with ski tracks' srcset='https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/79\/2026\/10\/wooden-cabin-in-snowy-swedish-lapland-mountains-with-ski-tracks.jpg.webp 907w, https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/79\/2026\/10\/wooden-cabin-in-snowy-swedish-lapland-mountains-with-ski-tracks-300x200.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/79\/2026\/10\/wooden-cabin-in-snowy-swedish-lapland-mountains-with-ski-tracks-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/sites\/79\/2026\/10\/wooden-cabin-in-snowy-swedish-lapland-mountains-with-ski-tracks-18x12.jpg.webp 18w' sizes='(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 800px' loading='lazy' decoding='async' data-smush-webp-fallback='{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/king.travelblox.eu\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/79\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/wooden-cabin-in-snowy-swedish-lapland-mountains-with-ski-tracks.jpg&quot;,&quot;srcset&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/king.travelblox.eu\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/79\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/wooden-cabin-in-snowy-swedish-lapland-mountains-with-ski-tracks.jpg 907w, https:\\\/\\\/king.travelblox.eu\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/79\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/wooden-cabin-in-snowy-swedish-lapland-mountains-with-ski-tracks-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\\\/\\\/king.travelblox.eu\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/79\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/wooden-cabin-in-snowy-swedish-lapland-mountains-with-ski-tracks-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\\\/\\\/king.travelblox.eu\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/sites\\\/79\\\/2026\\\/10\\\/wooden-cabin-in-snowy-swedish-lapland-mountains-with-ski-tracks-18x12.jpg 18w&quot;}'>                                                    <\/figure>\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"tb-cta-banner tb-block align-left background-light pattern-none variant-none tb-collapsible-margins\" id=\"cta-banner\" data-tb-block=\"cta-banner\">\n    <div class=\"inner-block tb-fade-in tb-fade-in--subtle\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/en\/\" class=\"tb-cta-banner__link\" target=\"\" title=\"The King&#039;s Trail - The King&#039;s Trail Winter\">\n            <div class=\"icon\"><i class=\"fa-solid fa-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/div>\n            <div class=\"text-part\">\n                                    <strong>Ready to trek from hut to hut through Swedish Lapland?<\/strong>\n                                                    <span>Discover The King's Trail Winter and explore the trip from Abisko to Singi.<\/span>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":127,"featured_media":1294,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","team-member-anais-travelbase","blog-category-tips-tricks"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1284","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/127"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1284"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1284\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1322,"href":"https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1284\/revisions\/1322"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1294"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/king.travelblox.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
