Experience Stockholm’s northern archipelago during a four-day island hopping between the islands of Finnhamn, Lidö and Arholma. Enjoy genuine environments and beautiful nature along the sea. Each island offers nice hiking on the archipelago trail Stockholm Archipelago Trail. 

The Stockholm Archipelago Trail “SAT” is a unique trail of 27 kilometers that stretches over 20 islands in the Stockholm archipelago. With this package, you get the opportunity to walk three of the stages during a wonderful island hopping in four days. 

Day 1: 
You go to Finnhamn from Strömkajen in Stockholm City via Vaxholm or from Boda brygga on Värmdö. At Finnhamn, a 10-kilometre beautiful SAT stage awaits you, consisting of three loops close to the sea, where the hostel with its adjacent tavern and shop is a natural hub and it is easy to adapt the length of the hike.  

Day 2:  
Spend a day at Finnhamn and enjoy hiking along the trail, swimming or good food at the archipelago restaurant. In the late afternoon, the North/South Line’s boat departs for Lidö (a beautiful journey of about two hours). You arrive in Lidö just in time for dinner in the charming inn (where you also check in), or why not a freshly baked pizza on the front pocket “Oasen” overlooking the sea.   

Day 3: 
Discover Lidö’s SAT stage, which is 11.9km long and consists of two loops close to the sea. Open meadows, forests and paths close to the sea await you here. End your stay at Lidö with an early dinner before the North/South Line’s boat departs for Arholma or you wait with dinner until you arrive at Arholma Nord in the evening.  

Day 4: 
Wake up and enjoy a breakfast with a sea view at Arholma Nord, before you take on today’s hike on the archipelago gem of Arholma, a hiking pleasure of just over 12km. Discover the beautifully preserved island along winding gravel roads, through pastures and forests as well as seaside cliffs with stunning views of the Åland Sea. After your hike, you will return to the mainland by boat.

  • On u003ca href=u0022www.stockholmarchipelagotrail.comu0022u003ehttp… there is a lot of good information for your hike.
