3-Night Midsummer Hike in Sweden Fjällnäs to Storulvån

This hike is suitable for participants with an intermediate level of hiking experience and good physical fitness. Over the course of four days, you'll cover approximately 75 km through hilly and occasionally uneven terrain. Daily distances range from 15 to 20 km, so it's essential that you're comfortable walking with a full backpack for several hours each day. While the pace is steady with regular breaks, being physically prepared will ensure you enjoy the experience rather than endure it.

No technical climbing is involved, but you’ll need to manage varying terrain, including bare mountain plateaus, shallow river crossings, and grassy valleys. A key requirement is that your boots are properly broken in and that you’re used to hiking with weight. If you’ve done some multi-day hiking or hillwalking in the UK or Scandinavia before, this will feel like a natural step up in challenge without being overwhelming.

Yes, people with allergies or dietary requirements are more than welcome to join. When filling in the booking form, there is space to mention any specific dietary needs or health conditions that the organisers should be aware of. Alternatively, these details can be sent separately by email, ideally well ahead of the trip so that there’s time to prepare accordingly.

The organiser makes every effort to accommodate these requests, whether it’s food preferences, allergies, or intolerances. On multi-day trips especially, meals are often planned in advance, so early communication helps make sure everyone is catered for properly. The aim is for every guest to enjoy the experience fully without having to worry about food or health concerns along the way.

When poor weather is forecast or arrives unexpectedly, the organiser's first approach is always to adapt rather than cancel. This might involve choosing a more sheltered route, adjusting the itinerary to avoid exposed areas, or shifting the timing to get the best possible conditions. Mountain weather can change rapidly, so a degree of flexibility is always built into the trip plans.

Only in cases where the weather creates a genuine safety risk—such as storms, high winds, or flooding—would cancellation be considered, and this is treated as a last resort. In those rare situations, guests will be contacted to agree on a suitable new date for the trip. Staying safe is the priority, but the goal is still to deliver a memorable and enjoyable experience wherever possible.

Private tours for individuals or small groups are absolutely possible. These are ideal for those who prefer a more tailored experience or want to move at their own pace. Anyone interested can reach out through the adventuro chat below or use the contact form to start planning a trip that fits their preferences and schedule.

Once a request has been received, the organiser will provide a personalised quote and suggest route options or activity ideas based on availability. Private bookings can usually be adapted to suit particular interests, fitness levels or time constraints, making them a flexible and popular option for couples or solo travellers.

Arriving on time is the responsibility of each participant, and most activities run to a fixed schedule that cannot be delayed once underway. In some cases, the group may be able to wait a short time, but this is not guaranteed. If a guest misses the designated start time and the group has already departed, it’s likely they won’t be able to join later or receive a refund.

However, if someone knows in advance that they might be delayed, they’re encouraged to get in touch as early as possible. While nothing can be promised, the organiser will do their best to help where they can—this could include joining at a different meeting point or shifting the plan slightly if others in the group are flexible. Communication is key, especially on the day of the activity.

You’ll need to bring your own full set of camping gear, including a backpack (40–60L), tent, sleeping bag (suitable to around 0°C), sleeping mat (R-value 3.0 or above), and cooking equipment. Clothing should be layered and suitable for mountain conditions—think windproof and waterproof shells, warm midlayers, and moisture-wicking base layers. Reinforcement garments like a down jacket are recommended for evenings.

Footwear is crucial, and well-worn-in hiking boots with good grip are a must. Other essentials include a water bottle, sunglasses, gloves, sun protection, first aid kit, and a personal repair kit. A detailed kit list is provided after booking. If you're missing items, recommended gear rental can be arranged through Outdoorbuddies.se—just be sure to sort this out well in advance.

Participants are responsible for bringing their own meals for the duration of the hike: 3 breakfasts, 4 lunches, 3 dinners, plus snacks. Lightweight, calorie-dense food is best—think dehydrated meals, flatbread, instant porridge, trail mix, and energy bars. Lunch breaks are typically 30–40 minutes, so cold lunches or no-cook options can make things easier.

You’ll have time in the evenings to cook a hot dinner using your camping stove. It’s helpful if you’re already familiar with how your stove works before arriving. There will be group discussions during the pre-trip digital meeting about meal prep and storage. If you need help planning your meals, tips and packing advice will also be shared ahead of the trip.

First-timers are very welcome, as long as you're confident carrying your own gear and are up for the challenge of multi-day hiking. Wild camping does require a bit more planning, but your guide will be on hand to help you set up camp and offer advice on staying warm, dry and organised throughout the trip. There’s also a group chat and pre-trip meeting so you can ask any questions well before setting off.

Each night you'll camp in natural settings with beautiful views and access to water sources. Expect no formal facilities—just open space and the skills you bring. You’ll learn practical techniques during the hike, including campsite selection, water purification, and how to stay comfortable outdoors. If you’re willing to learn and come with a good attitude, wild camping will become one of the highlights of the experience.
