Höga Kustenleden

The Höga Kustenleden (High Coast Trail) is a 130km (80-mile) long-distance hiking trail traversing one of the most unique geological areas on earth, designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Running from Hornöberget in the south to Örnsköldsvik in the north, the trail navigates a landscape that is literally rising from the sea at a world-record pace following the last Ice Age (isostatic rebound). Over 5 to 7 days, hikers traverse an incredible mix of deep, ancient forests, sandy coves, sheer red granite ocean cliffs, and the dramatic Skuleskogen National Park. It is renowned for its accessibility, passing through charming fishing villages while also offering deep wilderness immersion.

The trek to Laguna de los Tres is one of the primary day activities in Los Glaciares National Park, providing a close-perspective view of the granite massif of Mount Fitz Roy (3,405m). The route follows an out-and-back trail through mixed forest and glaciated valleys, passing the Piedras Blancas viewpoint before the final ascent. The journey is defined by a significant transition from the low-lying valley floor to the high-alpine environment of the lagoon, which sits directly below the main peaks.
