"Showing our foreign guest’s Lapland’s magnificent wilderness and exciting culture is a privilege. But also a great responsibility. We work closely with nature and are proud of our origins and history. We want to spread knowledge about the Sami culture, and how to enjoy being close to animals and nature," says Lennart Pittja, Pathfinder, Lapland.

Swedes have a particularly intimate and treasured relationship with their nature, which has involved us working hard over the years in order to make access convenient and equitable. One feature of the special relationship Swedes have to nature is our deep-rooted Right of Public Access, that gives everyone the opportunity to trek, camp and enjoy nature most places countryside, as long as you behave in a respectful and responsible manner.
