Discover STF’s Signature Trails

Sweden offers many different hiking trails in both the mountains and lowland areas. To make it easier to plan your next hike, we have selected some of Sweden’s most spectacular trails, we call them signature trails. What makes the 12 signature trails distinctive is the beauty of their surroundings and that they are characteristic of their part of the country. Together, the 12 trails paint a broad picture of what Sweden has to offer in terms of hiking and nature.

Our 12 signature trails

Regardless of whether you want to hike nearby or travel far away, there is a signature trail for you.

A Swedish Hiking Classic

A Swedish Hiking Classic includes all 12 signature trails, which means that the total hike is 900 kilometres long. Do you dare take on the challenge? You do not need to hike the trails in any particular order and there is no time limit which means that it may take several years for some to complete A Swedish Hiking Classic, while others finish it quicker. You may have already done some of the hikes, in which case you are already on the way.

When you have hiked all the signature trails, contact vandringsklassiker@stfturist.se in order to receive your certificate.

Best of luck with A Swedish Hiking Classic – and take the opportunity to enjoy the most beautiful trails in Sweden!
