A cocktail of activities in Sweden

This first day is dedicated to exploring Stockholm, an unusual capital built on several islands. We begin in the iconic Gamla Stan district ("old town"), located on the island of Stadsholmen. Its cobbled streets, colorful facades, and lively squares are home to the Royal Castle, where the changing of the guard is always an impressive spectacle.

Throughout the day, we explore other neighborhoods and atmospheres of the city. An optional visit to the Skansen open-air museum on Djurgården Island is available. A true journey back in time, this site recreates Sweden of yesteryear through traditional buildings from all over the country, as well as flora and fauna representative of each region. A fun and captivating immersion into the heart of Swedish history.

We leave the urban bustle behind for a completely different atmosphere: that of the Baltic Sea. From Stockholm, we cross the archipelago to the island of Ornö, long protected by a system of inheritance that has preserved its wild character.

Late morning, we get acquainted with the kayaks and enjoy a gentle introduction to paddling. We navigate from islet to islet, between rocks polished by time and golden sand beaches. Our passionate and expert guide shares safety instructions while revealing the secrets of the region: northern flora, marine fauna, local traditions, and the geological history of the archipelago.

The calm waters, dotted with hundreds of islets, teem with life. With a bit of luck, we'll spot seals and numerous seabirds. With every paddle stroke, the change of scenery is complete: we glide between land and sea in pristine landscapes that seem to stretch to infinity.

In the evening, we drop off the kayaks and head to our cabin for a peaceful night surrounded by nature. The next day, a full day is dedicated to exploring new corners of the archipelago by kayak.

Tyresta National Park offers an exceptional hiking experience amidst 55 square kilometers of ancient forests and crystal-clear lakes. Our route traverses diverse landscapes: pine forests, rocky areas, and wetlands, with stunning views of this pristine nature. Wooden boardwalks facilitate passage through the wetlands.

These wild environments are ideal for wildlife observation: moose and beavers frequent the region, and the chances of spotting them are among the highest in the country.

In the afternoon, we have several options: extend the hike along the lake bordering our accommodation, or simply enjoy a moment of relaxation, or even a swim in nature.

Return to the chalet at the end of the day.

Back to civilization: we leave the vast forests behind and return to Stockholm and its vibrant colors. This day offers the opportunity to discover other islands, other neighborhoods, and new atmospheres of the Swedish capital, a blend of modernity and tradition.

Last morning overlooking the Swedish coast. Transfer to the airport and return flight.

We leave Sweden with intense memories: the raw nature, the changing lights, the warm atmosphere of Stockholm and the memorable encounters.

And why not come back in winter? When hiking is done on snowshoes, when the north of the country dons its long white coat and when the northern lights set the sky ablaze, Sweden reveals a new magic.
