Stockholm Hiking trip, one day

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!

Autumn Special

From late September until the end of October Stockholm turns into an absolute autumn paradise. Surround yourself with orange, yellow, red and pink in all tones you can possibly imagine. Combined with the year-round green of the pine & spruce trees it delivers an astonishing landscape of colors for you to experience.

”We booked an all-day hike with Pieter after reading other travelers’ reviews of his tours. We weren’t disappointed! The weather was beautiful, Pieter was fun, informative and well-organized, and we had a wonderful day walking off-trail through the gorgeous Tyresta national forest. I highly recommend this activity if you want to learn about and enjoy the natural beauty around Stockholm.”

”It was absolutely worth the money! Our guide Manny was friendly and very knowledgable and passionate about the forest. He was happy to chat with us and give us information on the forest, but he also knew how to keep quiet so we could all enjoy the peacefulness of the area. The group was small with just 7 of us plus Manny so that meant we could ask lots of questions. We hiked for about 2 hours then stopped for lunch which was freeze dried reindeer stew. Manny showed us how to build a fire (I got to light it myself with a tinder stick and knife!). Sitting at lunch on a rock overlooking a lake, you couldn’t hear anything except nature’s sounds. It was beautiful. Then Manny took us ‘off-track’ for the second part of our hike, which made us feel like we were really immersed in the landscape. Overall it was an awesome day!”

”I recommend The Green Trails without any doubt ! We were looking for an off trail nature hike not too far from the swedish capital and we were very filled with happiness after the trip. The guide is very kind and everything is managed properly. We loved as well the philosophy of this compagny which is respectul about the natural environment (from the delicious food wich is vegan to the efforts made to keep the area clean) . Do not hesitate !”

”My boyfriend and I just returned from our trip and I cannot thank our tour guides enough for making the experience so great. They were so knowledgeable and we ended up being the only ones on that tour that day so it felt like a very personable VIP experience. We were taken on all sorts of different habitats within the nature hike. Great for pictures and just soaking in on Swedish native wildlife. We chatted a ton and bonded eating our vegetarian lunches, it felt like we were hanging out and having a nature day with some friends. I highly recommend them for there professionalism and just overall attention to having customers experience something memorable. Thanks again I hope to be back!”
