Abisko National Park Scenic Circuit

Abisko National Park is one of the most accessible gateways to the high-arctic wilderness of northern Sweden. Situated 250km north of the Arctic Circle, it serves as the starting point for the legendary Kungsleden. The Scenic Circuit is a modular day or two-day trekking experience that encapsulates the park's diverse geomorphology. The route navigates the dramatic Abiskojåkka Canyon—a deep, roaring marble-walled chasm—before transitioning into ancient birch forests and open tundra as it approaches the mirror-like waters of Lake Abiskojaure. The landscape is dominated by the 'Lapporten' (The Lapponian Gate), a massive, perfectly U-shaped glacial valley that frames the horizon.

Considered a premier multi-day trekking route in Los Glaciares National Park, the Huemul Circuit provides a circumnavigation of Cerro Huemul near El Chaltén. The route crosses two significant passes—Paso del Viento and Paso Huemul—offering direct panoramas of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field. Terrain varies from forested valley floors and river crossings to exposed glacial moraines and high-altitude scree slopes. The circuit is defined by its remoteness and the requirement for technical river crossing skills using fixed steel cables.
