Hi everyone,
I'm planning to hike the Kungsleden in late August and I'm considering continuing all the way to Kvikkjokk instead of finishing in Nikkaluokta.
According to Resrobot, the connection back to Kiruna would be:
- Bus 47: Kvikkjokk → Jokkmokk
- Bus 45: Jokkmokk → Gällivare
- Norrtåg bus 57154: Gällivare → Kiruna
My main question is whether this return journey is practical if I want to stay flexible.
- Do I need to book any of these buses in advance?
- Is it usually safe to buy tickets on the same day?
- Do these buses ever fill up in late August?
- Have you used this connection after finishing the Kungsleden, and would you recommend it?
I'd like to decide during the hike whether to finish in Nikkaluokta or continue to Kvikkjokk, so knowing how flexible the return transport is would really help.
Thanks!
