The High Coast of Sweden has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, seascapes and granite cliffs.
Embark on a four-day adventure showcasing the essence of Swedish outdoor exploration. Prepare for unforgettable hiking experiences amidst some of Sweden's most awe-inspiring scenery. Even without scaling towering peaks, this region promises unparalleled natural beauty, ranging from sandy beaches and dense pine forests to mesmerizing canyons crafted from Nordingrå granite.
Rich in biodiversity, the area is home to a plethora of wildlife, including roe deer, hares, squirrels, foxes, badgers, martens, ermines, minks, and the iconic moose.
With luck, you may witness one of the world's seven natural wonders—the enchanting Aurora Borealis, also known as the northern lights—painting the night sky.
This excursion caters to both novice and seasoned hikers, requiring only a normal level of fitness to participate. You need not be an athlete to join in on this adventure.

DETAILED TOUR SCHEDULE
FIRST DAY
Our journey begins with the exciting task of outfitting everyone with camping gear and getting to know ourselves as we board the night train from Stockholm, setting our course northward. Travelling by sleeper train ensures we're well-rested for the adventures ahead.
SECOND DAY
Early in the morning, we disembark the train and jump on a brief bus ride to reach Skulleskogen National Park, where our hiking expedition begins. Throughout the day, the knowledgeable guide leads you through the picturesque forest, unveiling the area's highlights. By late afternoon, you arrive at the coast, establishing camp for the night. Here, we cook dinner on an open fire and enjoy some storytelling. We eagerly anticipate glimpses of the northern lights (of course, we need some luck to do so). For the energetic souls, there's the option to explore parts of the coast (without the heavy backpack) before nightfall.
THIRD DAY
Following yesterday's exploits, we relish a leisurely start to the morning, savouring breakfast and coffee against the backdrop of breathtaking campsite views. Our journey continues with further exploration of the highlights of Skulleskogen National Park, culminating in our second forest campsite. After dinner, exhaustion from the day's adventures likely ushers in early slumber, preparing us for tomorrow's early rise.
FOURTH DAY
We start this day early by hiking the short way back to the bus station where we arrived two days before and start our trip back to Stockholm. As this train goes during the daytime, you have the chance to enjoy the landscapes that the Swedish countryside has to offer.
