Hej Sweden! I am an international student at Handels, and planning to hike/trek to Sweden’s tallest mountain - Kebnekaise. I plan to fly/take the train to Kiruna, get on the bus to Nikkaluokta, and then climb up.
Few questions:
- I am planning to do it in August, which I understand is one of the better months to hike up north. But there is a chance that I might need to push the date a bit as my friend may not get time off of work. In such a case, will this hike be doable in let’s say September - November?
- What is the best (cheap) way to travel from Stockholm to Kiruna? Trains are recommended (at least on the blogs I have been referring to) but I am on a tight budget so not sure whether it is the best way.
- Things that you think I should carry with me from Stockholm?
- If you have any other tips for 2 students on a tight budget, please feel free to share!
Thank you!

jr9zrywUnfortunately I won’t be eligible for the discount then. Does this airline have a student criterion or just the age?
And about the time, the earliest I can do is mid-August. I hope that it is not too late!

jra36etI meant to write September, August is fine.
The airline is SAS, and they don't have student discounts to my knowledge.
Since you don't qualify for the youth discount, I dont think there will be a big difference in price between train and plane

jra9f5aProbably not but the train will take something like 15-20 hours :D
So you burn at least two days of the trip when going by train.

jrad8xwWell flying makes more sense then, even though I guess a train journey would be more scenic :|
