The Nordkalott is one of most famous long hikes in Lapland. Its total distance is 800 km, but you can also break it down to sections. The northern terminus is in Kautokeino, Norway, the southern ones in Sulitjelma, Norway and Kvikkjokk, Sweden. The trail is also part of the European E1 trail that starts in Sicily.
In Enontekiö, the route goes through Malla Strict Nature Reserve and Käsivarsi Wilderness Area. Norway’s Reisa National Park and Abisko in Sweden are also along the way. Popular pitches include Kilpisjärvi to Kautokeino and Kilpisjärvi to Abisko.
