Keb Classic takes a break in 2026
STF and the Swedish Climbing Association have decided to pause the Keb Classic event in the winter of 2026. The break is being made in order to review the safety aspects of the competition and thereby create the best possible conditions for the future. Once the review is complete, a decision will be made regarding a possible continuation of Keb Classic.

Kiruna
To reach STF Kebnekaise Mountain Station, take a train to Kiruna and then a bus to Nikkaluokta. For bus schedules, visit nikkaluoktaexpressen.se/ (opens in a new tab). From Nikkaluokta, it’s a beautiful 19-kilometer hike or ski tour to Kebnekaise Mountain Station. The route follows the Dag Hammarskjöld Trail (between Abisko and Nikkaluokta) through the fertile Ladjo Valley, alongside the headwaters of the Kalix River—one of Sweden’s great unregulated national rivers. Estimated hiking time is about 5–8 hours.
If you wish to shorten the hike, local companies offer boat transport in summer and snowmobile transport in winter. Please note that STF is not able to book these transfers for you. Book the snow mobile transport in advance www.nikkaluokta.com/en/mountain-transport (opens in a new tab). Read more about the boat transportation www.swedishtouristassociation.com/boats
BY CAR
If you're arriving by car, drive to Kiruna and then turn off toward Nikkaluokta, approximately 70 km. At the end of the road, you'll find a parking area with long-term parking available. Parking permits can be purchased at the mountain facility in Nikkaluokta (not operated by STF).
BY AIR
Kiruna is connected by air to Stockholm. However, air travel generally has a high climate impact per kilometer, so we recommend choosing train and bus whenever possible.
