Trail reviews for Abisko National Park
Well marked path. We deviated at the lake to head back towards Abisko east rather than finish as a loop. Incredible views of the lake this way.
Njakajaure Nature Trail and Marmorbrottet Quarry
Magnificent and short hike. Quite a few people. Couple with another departing from Abisko station

Along Abiskojokk and the Coast of TorneträskWe chose to take another route back and go down to Abisko east. It was a nice way back, but a little wet when you go over the marshes
