    Mountain walking in Abisko

    Posted by PeterCatling 31 August 2011

    Walking in the late summer in Abisko, in the far north of Sweden, was a wonderful introduction to exploring the Swedish mountains. Suitable for novice walkers, families and experienced walkers, the Abisko region provides dramatic mountain scenery, Sami reindeer herds. beautiful autumnal flora and an opportunity to experience real wilderness.
    A network of mountain huts provide overnight accommodation, cooking and camping facilities and an opportunity to meet fellow walkers.When we were there we found hut wardens baking fresh Swedish "bulla" for their guests and a mountain sauna fueled by a wood burning stove. During the war, these mountain huts were used by the resistance movement to cross into Norway. The network of huts can also be used in the winter months for long distance skiing.
