What To Expect
We will spend the day in the surroundings of Stockholm hiking through unspoiled nature. We might just visit the oldest, wildlife rich forest of Sweden’s southern half. Making your way through virgin taiga forests while hearing the call of the roe deer in the distance is a magical experience. Or we hike past magnificent viewpoints in the archipelago. We might even take you to the best sections of the famous Sörmansleden. As we go along we pass vast lakes with beaver dams, granite cliff formations and we track some of the animals that call Scandinavia their home. No person is the same, and neither are hikes. Experience Scandinavian nature in just one day!

Short walk in the woods

5.00We were initially supposed to do a snowshoe hike but the weather was not suitable. So we went on a nature excursion with Olivier. The guide was really nice and his story and his project (with his wife) is really fascinating. We walked around for 6 hours. We walked, ate, looked at the landscapes and nature. The setting is magnificent. We ended up with an exciting relic of the Great World War. I recommend !

Winter Hike with Noisy Frozen Lake

5.00I came to Sweden for a couple of winter nature experiences, and Green Trails stands out as one of the best organizations I went with. First, Patrick was a phenomenal guide. He's patient, relaxed, funny and tells hilarious stories. He strikes me as being in his element with his knowledge of animals and nature, but also of Swedish culture. The winter hike itself was phenomenal. We hiked a snowy forest infrequently visited by folks, and trekked across a huge frozen lake. We know we were safe, but it raced the heart to hear the loud, booming thunderclap noise of the lake adjusting to temperature changes! We didn't see critters but I wasn't expecting a lot there. If for nothing else, go along for the campfire vitals. The Finnish lentils at lunch with hot drinks and dessert hit the spot!! Great adventure!
Exceptional day at Tyresta Park

5.00We had the chance to do the nature hike in Tyresta National Park in very good weather conditions and especially with the adorable guide Patrick. He took us off the trail to access magnificent views while sharing his knowledge and love of wildlife. We learned how to make a fire then had lunch by the frozen lake, in a warm and relaxed Mood. Nothing wrong, the care, the security, the Mood, the skills and knowledge were at the rendezvous for an exceptional day! Thanks again to Patrick who was at the top!

A light adventure in a beautiful forest near Stockholm

5.00Really enjoyable walk on an easy trail about half an hour outside Stockholm. We set off late morning from the pickup point, after introduction and brief instruction on what to expect on the trail. Our guide George was very familiar with the area and was able to tell us a great deal about the local area and the forest. The hike took us through the forest and around the lakes on mostly flat terrain. After few hours of walking we sat down for a lunch and coffee, provided by the organisers in a very picturesque and quiet area by the lake. With the lunch done, we took slightly different route back. There were quite a few other hikers in the area, but we managed to avoid the busy parts due to the knowledge of our guide. Overall we spent about 4 hours in the forest. While I would have preferred to have a slightly longer hike, the tour is aimed at an average walker and is not very demanding. It was a great day out in the forest with a mix of interesting people in the tour group to share the experience.
A perfect day hiking

5.00My husband and I and our 21 year-old daughter recently went on a full day hike with Patrick as our guide. We all agreed it was our absolute favorite activity of our 5-day trip to Stockholm. We had perfect weather -- clear skies and warm but not hot temperatures -- and we to a national park about a 30-minute drive from downtown Stockholm. We learned a ton about the plants and animals in the area and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and solitude of off-trail hiking. Patrick taught us how to identify edible and inedible mushrooms and we picked wild blueberries which we later ate with custard as dessert/fika. We learned fire-starting and cooked lunch over our fire. It was a perfect day. Patrick did a good job of tailoring the day to our abilities and interests and we loved hearing his stories about life in Sweden as a guide and teacher. We HIGHLY recommend Green Trails and Patrick in particular.

5.00Had a great walk with guide George. After a simple but tasty lunch by a campfire we were allowed to indicate ourselves whether we wanted to take a short or long walk. We chose a long walk around a lake. Then went a bit off trail. Super experience, highly recommended.
A great day of hiking

5.00A great day of hiking with The Green Trails! Pierre, our French-speaking guide introduced us to Paradiset Nature Reserve south of Stockholm and allowed us to practice compass orientation while sharing his knowledge of Swedish flora and fauna.
