Itinerary description

Hard hike that requires river fordings, scrambling, bushwacking, walking and navigating in difficult terrain and walking through the "Rapa jungle"... You need to take everything you need with you, the only hut you will meet is Gisurisstugan, you can pretty much only buy snacks here and some canned goods. Had to talk with the local Sami people about the route into Norway as it is nearly never travelled, they recommended staying high.
I won't recommend you follow my route since I made some mistakes about shortcuts and keeping on the trail.

    17 days - you can fly to Luleå and rent a car cheaply and go to the start, otherwise go to Kvikjokk and walk or fly in with helicopter (Fiskflyg) :) Link to more info:
