Thanks for the link
Yeah I saw Gallivare but I was considering starting from Nikkaluokta and then heading down through Sarek, kinda avoiding the busier trails. It pretty much doubles the route though, so we will see! Also it seems to get to Gallivare you need to get on about 4 different flights, whereas Kiruna is only one stopover.
Yeah it seems pretty hard to get any information about local guides/tours etc that could help. It's not that I can't do it myself, it would just be nice to have some experienced locals help with some of the logistical stuff. Also flying with pulkas sounds like a PITA... I guess I just figured that with such a popular trail there would be more infrastructure!
