>>120529>It's certainly alluring, but I'm not sure if I'm experienced enough for that...You don't really need much experience to climb Kebnekaise. It is a rather flat 19 km trail from the nearest road to the mountainstation. Easy peasy.
From the mountainstation it is only a 5-10 kilometres to the top. 1600 m or so elevation change though. During the summer, lots of people are walking up there. There are two huts almost on top of the mountain where you can seek shelter. If you destroy your knee you can be helivaced out like the old Swede in pic related.
So you only need to be in average shape and then you can do it. There are no places you can fall or places to get lost. The ground is made of boulders the last half of the way and the trail is clearly marked. You just walk on those. Old ladies are walking up and down. It is seriously no real challenge if you are a normal, young guy. It can be tough and tiresome, however.
I find that hiking 15-20 km with 30 kg backpack is much
