Trek across the enchanting winter landscape of Sweden with snowshoes on this expedition from Stockholm. Marvel at the snow-dipped trees, animal footprints in the frost, and icy lakes not far from the city’s heart, while exploring magnificent landscapes. The guide will share his understanding of the natural world, forest navigation, and bushcraft abilities. He’ll instruct you on how to ignite a fire from nothing using a flint.
- 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!
- 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.
- Wear appropriate footwear. High sneackers, hiking boots are ok

Winter Snowshoe Full-Day Hike - Very scenic hiking tour. Walked on a frozen lake and got a lot of amazing views of the winter landscape. The soup lunch was very good as well. Great full day experience. Highly recommend.

I had such a great... - I had such a great experience on this hike! The snow and views was beautiful! The guide was also very helpful and lived locally to the forest so knew the area. I had never done a hike before, and did find it quite challenging due to the cold! Definitely wear waterproof clothing and comfy shoes. But overall - 10/10!

The perfect snowy hike I was searching for. - What a great winter hike! I decided to come to Sweden for a winter nature experience and I'm very happy I went with Green Trails. They bring everything you need for a perfect hike in the snow, tasty hot food and pastries, hot chocolate and lots of supplies to keep ourselves warm and have a great outdoor experience in the snowy forest. The hike was beautiful, with breathtaking views, and George was great providing us with lots of information about animals and the nature in Sweden. He definitely knows how to survive in the wild! I had so much fun, and now I treasure some amazing memories. Thanks a lot!

Fantastic Experience! - While the weather did not cooperate for snowshoeing, our small group still enjoyed a fantastic day hiking with our guide, Patrick! He took us to a beautiful national park outside Stockholm where we trekked across lesser travelled paths and across a massive frozen lake. We capped off the hike with a welcomed warm fire and hot delicious drinks and food. I loved every part and will definitely be rebooking another trip with Green Trails in the future!

Winter hike with Eric - Our winter hiking tour with Eric was really great. We had a lot of fun hiking off the track. Our guide Eric is very knowledgeable and taught us a lot about nature and how to make fire☺️We’ll be back for a longer trip to Sweden and for some other tours with these guys. We loved it! Thank you Eric and The Green Trails!

Wonderful trip in nature, highly recommended! - 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!

A brilliant way to spend a day when in Stockholm - 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 :)

Walking on ice - Wonderful first time experience in a snowy landscape. Our guide Eric was very professional. He had clear instructions with some (a lot of) humor thrown in. They actually provide us with our own backpacks in which we carry our lunch , our personal stuff as well as emergency gear.
It was a winter wonderland though there was some ice as it had rained before it snowed. That made for some slippery sections and an awkward tumble or two. But walking over the frozen lakes, watching a fire built and chatting with my fellow travelers about their lives and perspectives, having Eric make dessert over the fire and just leaning into nature was wonderful even if my feet froze. I would definitely recommend the tour and thoroughly enjoyed the company of my fellow travelers and Eric on my first winter hike.
Thank you.
Ps
I am still practicing my Dad Joke without much success!
