Kebnekaise — Local services in Kiruna kommun

If there are few paradises on earth, this is one of them! The best time to visit without major exposure to extreme climate and climbing challenges is July-August. The sceneries are breathtaking.

Great feeling once the top has been reached. Make sure to plan properly and take pictures! Keep fingers crossed for great weather too. Rocks are probably really slippery when wet. Close to no safety along the way, but if you do it slowly and in your own pace the risk of hurting yourself is little. Unfortunately there were a lot of people at Kebnekaise Fjällstation which took away some of the unique feeling of...
