The Stockholm Archipelago Trail is a hiking path network spanning approximately 270 kilometers (170 miles) across 20 islands of the Stockholm Archipelago in Sweden.[1][2] The trail stretches from Arholma in the north to Landsort in the south.[3] Each trail is marked as "easy," "average," or "challenging."
Opening in 2024, the trail quickly gained international recognition, including from National Geographic magazine, naming it one of the world's 25 best destinations for 2025.[4][5][6][7]
The Stockholm Archipelago consists of more than 30,000 islands, making it one of the largest archipelagos in the world. The trail manages visitor flows on the islands, preserving the archipelago's fragile ecosystem and promoting sustainable tourism. It also highlights the region's cultural heritage and aims to foster settlement in the archipelago.
Hikers can tailor their experience to their preferences, camping at designated sites or staying at hotels and inns along the trail. However, the availability of accommodations and restaurants varies seasonally, as many facilities operate only during peak summer weeks. Ferry services are also seasonal, changing schedules through the year. As a result, inter-island travel requires careful planning, especially outside the summer season. These factors make the challenge of hiking vary on the time of year.
