What to bring for our Summer tours

Summers in Sweden are short and it often gets surprisingly chilly at night.

On a typical evening tour we hike through the forest and temperatures are between 12-25°C. The undergrowth is often damp so waterproof shoes or boots are essential to avoid wet and cold feet.

During July and the first half of August we expect Summer temperatures of 15-25°C but it often a lot milder in May, June and from mid August and September with temperatures between 8-20°C.

Note that we never cancel a tour due to rain or wind, so please bring rain proof clothing.
