Full Description
We at Calazo have developed five maps on a scale of 1:50,000 with a unique wealth of detail that cover the entire Kungsleden stretch between Abisko in the north to Hemavan in the south.
This map covers the stretch of Kungsleden between Sälkastugarna and Vakkotavare but also the trail to Nikkaluokta via Kebnekaise mountain station and the Nordkalottleden via Hukejaurestugan to Sitasjaure and Ritsem.
If you want to hike between Abisko and Vakkotavare/Ritsem, you can supplement with the map Kungsleden: Kebnekaise, Abisko & Riksgränsen 1:50,000.
This map is one of the maps we call the new generation mountain map. This means a wealth of detail that is not found in other maps of the same area. The terrain information is based on airborne laser scanning. In addition to completely new height curves with an equidistance of 10 meters, watercourses and slopes, among other things, appear in a significantly better way than before. The trails are reproduced with greater accuracy, as are sinkholes, buildings, stony ground and difficult-to-access vegetation.
We have come to the conclusion that the best material for a map is Tyvek®. It is made of a synthetic fiber that makes the map completely insensitive to water and very tear-resistant. A Tyvek map will not tear in the folds or lose color when you use it.
