SNOWSHOE IN STOCKHOLM’S BACKCOUNTRY
This adventure takes you into Stockholm’s backcountry, where you can enjoy being immersed in a Swedish winter wonderland! Snowshoe over frozen lakes, through snowy pine forests, and enjoy being amongst nature in this fairytale setting.
-
Once you have geared up and met your guide and group, you will head out of the city and into the forest on your adventure. The wintery landscape is beautiful and wild animals are never far away. Your guide will take you off track to have fun on snowshoes while admiring the snowy views and majestic nature during winter time. If you are luck you can also find footprints and animal tracks in the snow which will be fun to identify, and if you’re even luckier you may even see some heads looking out at you from behind the trees!
Our guides are all locals, and throughout the tour, they offer you insights into local customs, history, culture, and lifestyle.
After a few hours, you stop for lunch somewhere scenic for a well-earned picnic. There are hot drinks, an open fire and our classic outdoor lunch on offer.
