The mountains in summer

The Swedish mountains are an obvious destination in summer. Hike along Kungsleden's 400-kilometre trail system, take an evening dip under the midnight sun, or set off on an action-packed cycling adventure in Vålådalen.

The mountains’ varied nature suits both those who want to relax and those seeking a summer adventure. Find your own hidden gems along the way, drink straight from the babbling mountain streams and enjoy the magnificent views. Read more about the different mountain areas and dream your way to Vindelfjällen, magical Sarek or the classic Jämtland Triangle. Remember that there are tours where STF guides show you the best and most of what nature has to offer.

With us you’ll find every kind of accommodation in the mountains. From authentic hostels, hotels and guesthouses, to characterful mountain cabins and mountain stations. Book our accommodations and activities today!
