Many thanks for your kind comment 🙂! I'm glad you like the video!

Vielen lieben Dank! Es freut mich sehr, dass der Film so gut gefällt! Es war auch ein einmaliges Erlebnis.

Many many thanks for your enthusiastic comment! I didn't expect a comment like yours 🙂. I'm really happy if it inspires people. Believe it or not, I don't do this for likes but mostly for myself, family and friends 😉. And yes, it was an awesome experience, although of course there were also uncomfortable moments.😄 To answer your questions: It was 16 days and about 220 km in total. On some days I walked only a short distance because I found a place I liked.

Thank you, I'm happy that you like it!

Thanks a lot, Michael! That's probably why it took me almost one year after the trip 😉.

Vielen lieben Dank!

Merci beaucoup, Gilbert !

Many thanks Udo for your kind comment! It was really beautiful and I was happy about the new snow on the mountains 🙂!

Thank you!

Tack så mycket!

Thanks a lot!

It really was. Thanks you 🙂!

Thanks a lot 🙂!

Vielen lieben Dank! Es gibt Stimmen, die behaupten, es sei doch immer ähnlich. Da haben sie in gewisser Weise Recht. Dennoch begeistert es mich jedes Mal erneut, dort unterwegs zu sein 🙂.

Thank you!

Hallo Udo! Vielleicht sehen wir uns? Ich werde Anfang September in dieser Gegend unterwegs sein.

Thanks a lot! It was a really special morning. I had stayed alone in the Vistas hut's winter room and woke up to this sunrise 🙂. Looking forward to our trip next winter!

@@wildlife-tv_Bernd_Attner Viel Vergnügen bei der Tour! Das ist die beste Zeit des Jahres. Ich bin Anfang September etwas weiter südlich und möchte nochmal Rago und Padjelanta + ggf. Sarek zusammen machen. Das hatte mir vor 4 Jahren so gut gefallen.

I was been there 28 years ago, in June 1996. But in the higher areas around Nallo it was impossible to walk, there was still al lot of soft snow. Now I will come again in End of August. But I was many times in other areas for hike. Sarek, Padjelanta, Sulitjelma, Mavas/Pieskehaure, Femundsamrka, Dovrefjell etc.

​@@wildlife-tv_Bernd_AttnerHello Bernd, that sounds great. I'd be delighted if we could spend a few days up there together. Actually, I was in the area straight after my A-levels 41 years ago. I travelled over to Sweden from Narvik. And then down to Kvikkjokk. I also spent several days in the Sarek. Greetings Udo also to the film maker Stefan for a great landscape film.

Happy that you like it, thank you 🙂!

Many thanks to you 🙂!

Thanks a lot 🙂!

Many thanks for your comment 🙂! This hike was in September. I really like that time of year for hiking in northern Scandinavia. The hike from Saltoluokta to Ritsem via Kungsleden and Padjelantaleden traverses a very beautiful landscape, too. I'm sure you'll have a great time! Enjoy 🙂!

Thank you very much, Giacomo! This is the beauty of autumn, that you can have both, the beautiful colors and a fresh dusting of snow on the peaks 🙂. I brought 5 spare batteries for my Sony A7RIII but didn't use them all. I also had two powerbanks (10000 mAh) for charging other devices, but didn't empty them either. In my opinion in late summer/autumn a solar charger usually isn't worth it in the high north. In mid summer this can be different for longer self-sustained trips (for me the break-even regarding weight was about 2,5-3 weeks). During that time of year you can charge till late in the evening or early in the morning. Of course it also depends on the weight of the charger, how much power you need, etc. There are very light and cheap USB chargers (~35g), which I can recommend. My camera supports charging in camera, too. So I bring the USB charger only if I suspect that my battery supply might not suffice or I plan with a lot of charging (also via solar).

@@stefan.rieger thanks a lot for replying!

Thanks for your question! My hike was from the 3rd to the 19th of September. I was using a down sleeping bag (Western Mountaineering) rated at roughly -5 °C. It lacked a bit in freezing temperatures because of its age (but I was fine with more clothing). I had it serviced since then and now it is much warmer again. My tent was a Hilleberg Unna 1 person tent. I will use the same setup (+ possibly a packraft) for this year's Lapland hike.

Tack så mycket! Mellan den 3 och 19 september 2023.
