The 425 kilometer-long Kungsleden hiking trail, which follows the Scandinavian mountain range, starts (or ends) at the Abisko Turiststation (consisting of a railway station of the same name and the Abisko Youth Hostel) (approx. 4 km west of the village itself) and follows through the national park.

The Nordkalottruta uses trails of the park as part of its longer passage.

Daily passenger electric trains run by SJ AB connect Stockholm with the Norwegian city of Narvik, stopping at both the Abisko village (the name of that railway station is Abisko Östra east) and the Abisko Turiststation.
The avalanche boulder tongues were first intensively investigated by Anders Rapp in the areas of Abisko and Kebnekaise in Swedish Lappland.
There are road connections from Narvik across the mountains eastwards to Abisko and Kiruna, Sweden (via European route E10).

The most practiced part is by far the northernmost, between Abisko and Kebnekaise.
