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.

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!
- 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.

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!

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 :)Wonderful first time experience in a snowy landscape. Our guide Eric was very professional.

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!
