Not everyone expects to find such outstanding natural wealth so close to the densely populated countries of Central Europe, barren mountains, turbulent rivers, spellbinding primeval forests, miles and miles of beaches and vast, glittering archipelagos.

Sweden has an abundance of experiences of nature for all occasions and tastes, from extreme adventures to utter peace in the wilderness.

Canoeing in the light of dawn over mirror-calm bays, trip skating from the heart of the capital, Stockholm, out to deserted exquisitely-beautiful icescapes, scooter safaris through the cold arctic night under skies filled with the spectacular Northern Lights, snowboarding in shorts under the midnight sun or tranquil hiking tours with refreshing swim breaks in rippling mountain streams – the only limit to your level of adventure is your own imagination.

In Sweden nature is sacred
Swedes have a particularly intimate and loving relationship to their treasured nature, which has involved us working hard over a long period in order to make it conveniently accessible to everyone. One feature of the special relationship Swedes have to nature is our unique, deep-rooted Right of Public Access which gives all people the right to stay virtually anywhere in the countryside, as long as you behave in a respectful and responsible manner.
 
Swedish nature is easily accessible, whether you are travelling in a group or by yourself, regardless of whether you are an experienced wilderness adventurer or a regular city dweller in pursuit of a moment’s relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

You can choose from staying in your own tent, in a modest mountain cabin, in a family resort with access to all conceivable types of service. The variety and options are endless. Perhaps this is the reason why so many of the visitors that have discovered Swedish nature decide to return year in year out.
