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 Nahuel Huapi Traverse is a multi-day hut-to-hut route that circumnavigates the mountain ranges adjacent to San Carlos de Bariloche. The trail follows a high-alpine path, connecting four distinct mountain refugios via ridgelines, loose scree slopes, and granite passes. The terrain is characterized by a mix of Andean forest and exposed high-altitude terrain, where route-finding and stability on loose rock are primary requirements. The system of stone huts (refugios) provides a logistical framework for the journey, though hikers must be prepared for sustained physical output in an exposed mountain environment.
