The Nordic countries have world-class opportunities for hiking, from the dramatic mountain landscapes of Norway to the shady forests of the Stockholm Archipelago.

Nature Travels offers a wide range of possibilities for hiking holidays. Which tour is most suitable for you will depend on the kind of experience you are looking for - whether you would like a guided or self-guided hiking tour, prefer accommodation in cabins along the route or the adventure of wild camping.

In addition to our range of dedicated hiking tours, note that we also offer a number of Summer Multi-activity tours, combining hiking with other activities such as cycling, canoeing or kayaking. We also offer a wide range of opportunities for shorter and less challenging walks. For example, our choice of log cabins are all located in areas ideal for day walks.

The beautiful network of 30,000 (or 50,000 depending on how you count!) islands that make up the Stockholm Archipelago is perfect for exploring on foot, with convenient boat connections between the islands.

We offer two options for hiking in the Stockholm Archipelago, both self-guided, island hopping tours with luggage transferred and accommodation in guest houses and small hotels along the way. Both are suitable for adults or families with children aged 10 and over.

Discover the Islands of the Stockholm Archipelago

With a long season from June to September and weekly or twice-weekly start dates, this wonderful tour takes you from the island town of Vaxholm to the lush, forested "middle archipelago" islands of Svartsö, Möja, Ingmarsö and Finnhamn and out to the fashionable island of Sandhamn at the outer reaches of the archipelago.

Island Hopping and Hiking in the Stockholm Archipelago

Starting in Stockholm, this itinerary takes you to the lovely coastal town of Trosa to explore some beautiful walks in the surrounding nature reserves, before heading out into the archipelago to explore the islands of Utö and Fjärdlång.

Norway is justly famous for its breathtaking and varied scenery, and offers some of the finest hiking in the world. Our guided hikes on the northerly island of Senja and on the Lyngen peninsula offer a wild and authentic Norwegian hiking experience.

Hiking and Wild Camping Across Senja

An adventurous and beautiful crossing of Norway's second largest island, camping wild along the way. This tour offers spectacular and varied scenery which ranges from dramatic mountains and coastline to wetland areas, valleys and forest.

You should count on a pack weight of around 15-20kg and daily distances of 10-20km, covering around 70-80km over the course of the week. Ideal for adults with some experience of hiking with a backpack over several days in mixed terrain and looking for a fairly challenging and very scenic trip.

Hiking Expedition in the Lyngen Alps

A trek for the adventurous! This 9-day experience traverses the stunning Lyngen peninsula from south to north, covering around 130km with 5000m of height gain over the week and camping wild along the way.

For those with good fitness and previous experience of hiking with a pack, this is a memorable way to discover some of Norway's most spectacular landscapes.

Self-guided Hiking in Jutland's Lake District

With a choice of 5-day or 6-day options, this tour takes you through Denmark's largest natural area, the Silkeborg Lake District, a region with more than 50 lakes and over 220 square kilometres of forest, and along one of Denmark's best hiking trails, the Himmelbjerg Route.

An easy-going option for a rural walking holiday, daily distances are between 10km-21km, with luggage transferred between your comfortable accommodation each night. You'll be walking through beautiful countryside with full descriptions and GPS tracks included, on paths leading through quiet forests, along lake shores and riverbanks, with a number of attractions to stop and explore along the way.

Self-guided Hiking on Haervejen

The rolling countryside of Denmark is ideal for self-guided hiking, and Self-guided Hiking on Haervejen gives you the opportunity to hike Denmark's most well-known trail. The section from Viborg to Jelling takes you through beautiful scenery which changes from heathland and forest to lakes and small villages.

A longer and more challenging tour than the Lake District itineraries, Self-guided Hiking on Haervejen has daily distances between 15km-21.5km and is ideal for those who love a good walk but also have an interest in the cultural and historical significance of the trail. Since the Middle Ages, Haervejen was an important route for merchants and pilgrims, and you'll visit many sites of historical significance and interest along the way. With full route descriptions and maps, as well as luggage transfers, this tour is ideal for those seeking an extended trip with lots to see and learn about along the way, and is also suitable for solo travellers.

Finland is a hiking paradise, with beautiful wilderness areas and a powerful connection to nature. Choose between a varied and enjoyable week of day tours from guesthouse base in Eastern Finland or a wilderness trek with wild camping in the far north.

Northern Lights Hiking in Three Countries

This wonderful hike starts and ends in Finland, but takes in both Sweden and Norway too! Located in the far north, where the borders of these three Nordic countries meet, Northern Lights Hiking in Three Countries is a 6-day/5-night wild camping adventure through a landscape of wide horizons.

You'll be hiking around 10-15km over Arctic tundra and past crystal clear lakes, aiming to take in at least one of the local summits along the way. Each night you camp wild in the wilderness. Taking place in September, this tour also offers very good chances to see the Northern Lights, as the night skies are now dark enough for displays to be seen.

A very special Arctic hiking adventure that is moderately challenging but still accessible to anyone with a general good level of fitness with experience of multi-day hikes with a backpack.

Explore the National Parks of Eastern Finland

Unlike our other hiking tours, this experience is based at a single location for the week - a welcoming, traditional guesthouse, with a strong focus on local produce and cuisine and sauna available each night.

Each day, you will be transferred to the location of the hiking tour for the day, hiking in three of Finland's National Parks and one Nature Reserve, with a free day for rest or optional activities. Hiking distance and level of challenge is moderate and the tours are suitable for both adults and active families.

Led by experienced local guide, you will learn a great deal about both the natural and cultural heritage of this fascinating region of Finland during the week.
