- First day packrafting the spectacular Vistasjohka river, from Vistasstugan to Lisas stuga. Vistasstugan was reached after a 3-day, 55 km hike across the mountains from Abisko, with a ~30 kg backpack.
This descent is part of a 195 km combined hiking / packrafting expedition through northern Sweden in full autonomy, together with Didier Royakkers.

nice trip 👌
I really love your videos - what Alpacka Packraft do you use?
Thanks. Mine is an Alpacka Classic (Yak) with whitewater deck and tizip.
Great scenery, exciting! Did you walk from Nikkaluokta to Vistasstugan?
No, we hiked in from Abisko (3 days). Then paddled Vistasjohka to Nikkaluokta (2 days), subsequently hiked to the Kaitum river (2 days), and finally paddled the latter to Kaitum village (3 days). The plan was to continue paddling from Kaitum village to Skaulo (3 days), but we got hit by a freak blizzard that dumped 38 cm of snow onto the area and we unfortunately had to bail.
@@filiphaclaeys Wow, respect! Really great tours. I went hiking in the region. About 25 years ago.
I want to paddle on the Kaitum or Lainio in the summer of 24
@@filiphaclaeys Weather conditions in Lapland...yes 🥶🥴😵💫
And back? From Kaitum village by train to Gällivare/Kiruna?
@@kaitravelkai Yes, train to Kiruna after having sheltered in the tiny Kaitum railway station for 2 days. You should maybe read my reports. Link to the Vistasjohka report is in the description. You will find the Kaitum report from there.
@@filiphaclaeys Ok. thanks
