What to expect
After gearing up at our base camp, we'll drive together to the nicest hiking area (National Park or Nature Reserve) around Stockholm (will depend on snow conditions). After an easy brief on how to use snowshoes, bincos and how to behave in the forest, we'll hike for a few hours through magical swedish landscapes at an easy tempo. The guide will teach you about swedish flora and fauna, introduce you to bushcrafting and navigating. Together we'll build and light an and we''ll eat a warm lunch that we have prepared. At the end of the day, we'll drive back to our base camp, filled with positiv natural energy.
Stop At:
• The Green Trails, Tideliusgatan 62, Stockholm 118 69 Sweden
Additional information
- It’s an active excursion so don't dress too warm, but bring an extra layer for when standing still! It's best to have clothing that dries up quickly, so avoid cotton if possible! Wool and polyester (often seen in sport specific clothing) are best. Dressing in many layers is recommended over having one thick layer. This provides better insulation and it's easier to take off one layer when you're too warm.
- Please remember that the weather conditions are out of our control, and there is no snow guarantee. However last winter season (January - March 2020) we only had one excursion without snow!
- Not wheelchair accessible
- This is a winter hiking excursion. If the snow level demands the use of snowshoes we will use these. Otherwise we use ice grip cleats under our boots.
- Near public transportation
- Most travelers can participate
- Wear appropriate footwear. High sneackers, hiking boots are ok
- This tour/activity will have a maximum of 8 travelers
- Confirmation will be received at time of booking

My friend and I joined the snow shoe hiking trip this week. Eric is a very resourceful guide. He showed us ways to identify animals with their footprints, taught us some surviving skills and outdoor cooking skills. We were lucky as it snowed a lot the previous day. It was really peaceful at the national park, the trails were covered with snow, we walked across two frozen lakes and made our way back when the sun was about to set. The view for the entire hike was picturesque, but that moment, the scenery surrounding us was just magical! It was a great day (with plenty of free jokes included). The tour is very well-organized and I would highly-recommend them to my friends when they visit.This was overall a really great experience! We couldn't do the snowshoe as there wasn't enough snow, but we did it by foot and it was as great. Walking on the lake, the lunch by the fire, the group we were with all made this an experience I definitely recommend. Pierre was our wonderful guide and...

Walking on the lake, the lunch by the fire, the group we were with all made this an experience I definitely recommend. Pierre was our wonderful guide and gave us a lot of info about the surroundings and always made sure we were having fun! All in all, a good way to see some Swedish nature!Pierre and Crystal were very knowledgeable and we had a really great day. Walking on the frozen lake, led by Pierre, was magical.

Pierre and Crystal were very knowledgeable and we had a really great day. Walking on the frozen lake, led by Pierre, was magical. He gently encouraged without coercion and made me feel very comfortable about following him onto the ice. I’ve got great memories of this day. The soup at lunch time was really good and very welcome as was the bread served with it. I would not hesitate to recommend Pierre.We had a great time with The Green Trails. Booking was easy. Our guide Pierre was hugely knowledgeable. We would definitely go again!

Wonderful nature, highly experienced and friendly guide, excellent equipment. The guide took us off trail and taught us how to use the compass. We saw many animal tracks (no real animals unfortunately) and crossed two frozen lakes. Cosy campfire with great food from the restaurant where we met in the morning. An amazing experience to be the first to step on the untouched snow on the lake. Overall a great day in nature that we will never forget. Therefore highly recommended!Lucy and I did a mini break in Stockholm for 3 nights/4 days. As well as the City and the museums (Vasa, Nobel, ABBA, etc) we wanted to take in some Swedish culture, food AND nature! Given the Tyresta National Park is less than 30 mins away by car - it seemed obvious. So, we had a full day of hik...
Lucy and I did a mini break in Stockholm for 3 nights/4 days. As well as the City and the museums (Vasa, Nobel, ABBA, etc) we wanted to take in some Swedish culture, food AND nature! Given the Tyresta National Park is less than 30 mins away by car - it seemed obvious. So, we had a full day of hiking, trekking on trails, off piste and on frozen lakes. It was a small group of 4, including Eric, our guide. I can only repeat what has been said before - Eric is a funny guy - loads of jokes, witty stories and interesting facts about the area - which he clearly knows inside out. We made a fire and had the most amazing lunch ever (it is supplied by Green Trails). The best day we had in Stockholm. If you are in any doubt - book it and enjoy a proper day with this amazing nature :)
