- This film is about a solo hike in Swedish and Norwegian Lapland in September. I did not follow the "standard" itinerary which is the famous King's trail (Kungsleden) but rather a zig-zag route through the mountains preferring less frequented areas.
The weather was very changeable (sun, rain, some snow) and oftentimes there was a strong wind. It was a memorable adventure in a beautiful landscape.
My rough route was as follows:
Nikkaluokta - Visttasvággi - Kaskasavagge - Tarfala - Guobirvággi - Gautelis - Čáihnavággi - Čunojávri - Alesjaure - Unna Visttasvággi - Vistas - Alisjávri (Sami Settlement) - Abiskojaure - Kårsavagge - Abisko

Everything in the video is mesmerising: the landscape, the snow, the streams, the stillness of the air and the music.
Many thanks for your kind comment 🙂! I'm glad you like the video!
Traumhaft schöne Bilder, super schöne Musik und ganz toller Soundmix on Top! Danke für diese wunderschöne Reise! Ich bin überwältigt und komplett geflashed!
Vielen lieben Dank! Es freut mich sehr, dass der Film so gut gefällt! Es war auch ein einmaliges Erlebnis.
Very nice video! It must have been a memorable trip!
Thank you Stefan! Thank you!! This was so incredible! So beautiful! Thank you very much for the most epic hike movie from Lapland ever. I’ve been hiking a lot of these lands myself but never in one and the same hike. What a hike! Waow! How many km and days? Thank you for sharing a film like this. So true. So real. No fake. No talking. No nothing but the pure wilderness. You made my eyes get moisty by tears 🤩 Really really thank you for showing us all the real beauty of Lapland. Epic!❤️🙏🏻
Many many thanks for your enthusiastic comment! I didn't expect a comment like yours 🙂. I'm really happy if it inspires people. Believe it or not, I don't do this for likes but mostly for myself, family and friends 😉.
And yes, it was an awesome experience, although of course there were also uncomfortable moments.😄
To answer your questions: It was 16 days and about 220 km in total. On some days I walked only a short distance because I found a place I liked.
Simply wonderful!
Thank you, I'm happy that you like it!
Überwältigende, phantastische Aufnahmen, Kompliment! Danke fürs Zeigen!
Vielen lieben Dank!
Stunning, and beautifully produced. I love the care you put into every detail.
Thanks a lot, Michael! That's probably why it took me almost one year after the trip 😉.
Great Video, those are rare!!! Lapland's mountains are with the clouds, new snow really nice! Good to see your work. Udo
Many thanks Udo for your kind comment! It was really beautiful and I was happy about the new snow on the mountains 🙂!
This is one of the best film I have seen. I lika also to go off trail. More of this! Me like!
Thank you!
Beautiful vidéo, thank you Stefan
Merci beaucoup, Gilbert !
Tack för en fin film. Och för inspirationen.
Tack så mycket!
wow what a beautiful trip . Thank you for sharing.
Thanks a lot 🙂!
Magnifique - beautiful - man ist mit unterwegs in dieser beeindruckenden Landschaft, empfindet die schier unendliche Weite, eine weitgehend unberührte Natur.... untermalt mit Wind- und Wassergeräuschen (incl. gut gewählter Musik).....sehr harmonischer Film, tack så mycket
Vielen lieben Dank! Es gibt Stimmen, die behaupten, es sei doch immer ähnlich. Da haben sie in gewisser Weise Recht. Dennoch begeistert es mich jedes Mal erneut, dort unterwegs zu sein 🙂.
Good job putting together this film!
Thanks a lot!
Fantastic video as always, thank you. :)
Happy that you like it, thank you 🙂!
very nice. Always be energetic
Thank you!
Beautiful 😍
The scene at 15:20 is simply brilliant. I think Lapland will be on my agenda again next autumn. What a great film.
Hallo Udo! Vielleicht sehen wir uns? Ich werde Anfang September in dieser Gegend unterwegs sein.
Thanks a lot! It was a really special morning. I had stayed alone in the Vistas hut's winter room and woke up to this sunrise 🙂. Looking forward to our trip next winter!
@@wildlife-tv_Bernd_Attner Viel Vergnügen bei der Tour! Das ist die beste Zeit des Jahres. Ich bin Anfang September etwas weiter südlich und möchte nochmal Rago und Padjelanta + ggf. Sarek zusammen machen. Das hatte mir vor 4 Jahren so gut gefallen.
I was been there 28 years ago, in June 1996. But in the higher areas around Nallo it was impossible to walk, there was still al lot of soft snow.
Now I will come again in End of August. But I was many times in other areas for hike. Sarek, Padjelanta, Sulitjelma, Mavas/Pieskehaure, Femundsamrka, Dovrefjell etc.
@@wildlife-tv_Bernd_AttnerHello Bernd, that sounds great. I'd be delighted if we could spend a few days up there together. Actually, I was in the area straight after my A-levels 41 years ago. I travelled over to Sweden from Narvik. And then down to Kvikkjokk. I also spent several days in the Sarek. Greetings Udo also to the film maker Stefan for a great landscape film.
Great video! I admire it!
Many thanks to you 🙂!
Such a dedication to make this video , yette bra
Thanks a lot 🙂!
So beautiful, I'll do a 2 Weeks hike from Saltoluokta to Ritsem (part of Kungsleden and the Padelantaleden) and wanted to get in the mood by watching this,...what can I say, can't wait to get to the trail after this awesome video, thank you! When did you do this trip? It looks like late in summer.
Many thanks for your comment 🙂! This hike was in September. I really like that time of year for hiking in northern Scandinavia.
The hike from Saltoluokta to Ritsem via Kungsleden and Padjelantaleden traverses a very beautiful landscape, too. I'm sure you'll have a great time! Enjoy 🙂!

Stunning video! The scene at 19:23 is just superb; I love the contrast between the autumn colours and the far snow-capped peaks. May I ask how many batteries did you carry for your camera? And did you also bring a solar charger or simply a normal one to charge them? Thanks!
Thank you very much, Giacomo! This is the beauty of autumn, that you can have both, the beautiful colors and a fresh dusting of snow on the peaks 🙂. I brought 5 spare batteries for my Sony A7RIII but didn't use them all. I also had two powerbanks (10000 mAh) for charging other devices, but didn't empty them either. In my opinion in late summer/autumn a solar charger usually isn't worth it in the high north. In mid summer this can be different for longer self-sustained trips (for me the break-even regarding weight was about 2,5-3 weeks). During that time of year you can charge till late in the evening or early in the morning. Of course it also depends on the weight of the charger, how much power you need, etc.
There are very light and cheap USB chargers (~35g), which I can recommend. My camera supports charging in camera, too. So I bring the USB charger only if I suspect that my battery supply might not suffice or I plan with a lot of charging (also via solar).
@@stefan.rieger thanks a lot for replying!
When in September did you go? I'm planning a similar trip this year and would love to hear what comfort level sleeping gear and tent you're using. Thanks a lot in advance!
Jättevackert. Mellan vilka datum var det här?
Tack så mycket! Mellan den 3 och 19 september 2023.
