Climb Sweden’s highest mountain
Climbing Kebnekaise is an adventure many dream of undertaking. Join STF’s guides to the southern summit via the eastern route, an adventure that takes you across streams, steep slopes, glaciers, and involves light climbing towards Sweden’s highest view. The feeling when you reach the top is indescribable!
Stay close to nature in an STF Mountain cabin
Leave the stress of everyday life behind and experience complete presence in nature when you stay in one of the STF’s Mountain cabins—without electricity and water. If you want a unique opportunity to get really close to nature in an indescribably beautiful mountain environment this is the experience!
Hike the King’s trail
Enjoy dramatic mountain views, clear lakes, deep valleys, and untouched forests along Sweden’s perhaps most famous hiking trail. The trail, stretching over 450 kilometers, passes through impressive mountain areas and four national parks.
Luxury tenting in Swedish nature
Think camping isn’t for you? Think again! In southern Dalarna, amidst the beautiful forests of Bergslagen, you can stay in a luxurious glamping tent equipped with a double bed and your own jetty. Included are boat-delivered meals and your very own canoe.
Unforgettable hike in the midnight sun
The midnight sun is something truly unique to northern Sweden. Don’t miss the chance to experience nature in a magical way! Hike up to the top of Nuolja at an elevation of 1,164 meters in the golden midnight sun. Once at the top, celebrate with champagne and a view.
Discover a signature trail
We have selected some of the most scenic hiking trails from north to south and named them Signaturleder (Signature trails). All trails are quality-assured and characteristic of their region. There are fourteen to choose from. Which one will be your favorite?
Stay in a bird nest in the trees
Imagine living like a bird, in your own nest – except with comfortable beds, a shower, and stylish decor. At Granö Beckasin, you can do just that. Perched among the trees, securely anchored to strong pines, you’ll have an extraordinary overnight stay and wake up to a fantastic view of the Ume River.
Spend the night on a raft
Looking for a unique overnight experience? Then the floating hotel at STF Myssjö Gård, south of Stockholm, is just for you. Here, you can sleep comfortably on a cozy raft, surrounded by the gentle sound of Lake Yngern’s waves and the quiet of the forest.
