What to expect

After gearing up at our base camp, we'll head out together to one of Stockholm's most beautiful hiking areas (National Park or Nature Reserve - the exact spot depending on snow and weather conditions).
Once there, we'll start with a brief tutorial on using snowshoes / ice cleats, and binoculars, as well as forest etiquette.
Then, at a comfortable pace, we’ll embark on a hike through enchanting Swedish landscapes. Along the way, your guide will share insights about local flora and fauna, along with bushcrafting and navigation techniques.
If the lakes are frozen, we may even cross them under the guide’s supervision.
