High Coast Winter Classic: Swedens first multiday hike on Snowshoes

To hike with snowshoes has become more and more popular. In this light it is only natural that the first multiday snowshoe hike – High Coast Winter Classic – is launched. The snowshoe hike takes place in the High Coast, one of Sweden’s World Heritage Sites. The participants sleep in tents but are guided by an introduction course in outdoor life during winter already the first evening.  

Anyone can enjoy the winter landscape.
”With the right preparation, equipment and knowledge anyone can enjoy the magnificent winter landscape” says Engström. ”Since winter sometimes is seen as too cold or dark for hiking you could however need a bit of support to set out. That is why we organize transports, food, snowshoes and also an education about outdoor life in winter.”
 
The more the merrier.
During the last years you can see a movement from setting out in nature yourself to participating in outdoor events. According to Engström it is the company of others that is attracting participants. ”When you set out in nature together you get a magic feeling. Titles are put aside and the company has a tendency to become more open and relaxed next to a campfire” says Engström.
