Yes, this was our first trip to a Scandinavian country, and our first trip north of the Arctic Circle. We loved it. I was afraid the mosquitoes would be horrendous but they weren't terrible.
Looks like a great start for your hike! Most huts along the Kungsleden will accept credit-cards but it's always a good thing to bring some cash but maybe 12 000 was a bit much :) I hope they will upgrade the 70's trains sometime in the future, especially the restaurant.
It was far too much. As it turned out.we couldn't get rid of it all and brought some home. The "restaurant" car was pretty bad, except the coffee was passable.
@peiakthanarat8440 STF Abisko Turiststation. We booked lunch, dinner, and breakfast there. It was rather expensive, I thought, 3,295.00 SEK (~US $320) but was well worth it for a possible once-in-a-lifetime experience. Especially since we camped for free most of the time. I don't know though, we may return :-)
Using your ticket you board the train and find your compartment. It was maybe an hour into the journey when an inspector came by and asked to see our ticket.
hello! great video!! i wanna know if you reserve the train ticket direct in the station counter or in some page of internet, with my fiance we're planning a trip to abisko but don't know where buy the ticket online, thanks u!!
@@teotti I should also add that the sleeper compartment was very nice for 2 people. You have to pay for the compartment, which is nominally for 3 people, so whether you have 1, 2, or 3 people it's the same price. It would be quite expensive for just 1 person and really cramped for 3 people. For 2 people it was perfect.
Looking forward to seeing your new adventures!
Hello, you two. Very nice images!
Thanks, it was such a fun way to travel.
Another great adventure!

What's the name of accommodation in Abisko?

Hey, where did you find the gas in the end? Thanks :-)
Alewalds in Stockholm, not far from the Central Station, but you can also buy gas at the Fjallstations.
Thank you. 😊
Hi thanks for the information. Where did you show your ticket for the train? Any inspector?
