Swedish Lapland offers the Arctic wilderness of the Sarek and Abisko national parks with perfectly pristine mountains, alpine meadows, glaciers and wending rivers. If you take one of the local eco-tourism packages, you will leave this last wilderness the way you found it: unique and untouched.

Going south into central Sweden, you will find many opportunities to enjoy the varied landscapes. In winter you can take part in all the winter activities, and in summer you can enjoy just being out in the countryside of Dalarna for example, with its varied flora and fauna and pretty red-painted cottages.

Sweden gives its citizens and visitors alike the right of public access. This right allows you to go just about anywhere, as long as you do not damage the landscape or animal life, and you must show due consideration to landowners and others who are out in the countryside. Sweden is well served by a highly developed network of youth hostels and camping sites.
