About STF
STF is a non-profit membership association dedicated to ensuring that everyone has access to Sweden's nature and culture, both now and in the future. This involves creating better opportunities for sustainable tourism, providing quality accommodations across the country, protecting the right of public access, and, not least, offering inspiration and guidance for new adventures.
The amazing thing about Sweden is that there is always more to discover, and our work never ends. Every year, we organize thousands of courses and activities at our facilities and through the association’s many local branches. Our goal is to be a strong voice for important environmental issues. We care for the Swedish environment and want it to remain for future generations. Where the road ends, those who wish to explore further should be able to keep moving forward.
