Hiking trails in Sweden

The amazing thing about hiking in Sweden is that there is always more to discover. You can hike on remote mountain peaks, along rugged coastlines, beside bright yellow rapeseed fields, or near major cities. The fastest route is certainly not always the best. On this page, we have gathered a selection of Sweden's many trails.

The trail icons are color-coded based on how busy the trails usually are during the peak summer season. The colors can help you plan your hike to less crowded trails and areas. Note that the color markings are only an indication, and variations may occur on specific dates or parts of the trail.

1. Green = Few visitors
2. Yellow = More visitors
3. Red = Most visitors

By choosing a green or yellow trail, you reduce both the risk of crowding and the wear on the trail.
