Many ask about a GPX file and we used to do that before. A trail is very much a live phenomen and due to the frequent changes that take place there is a lot of work and effort to sustain a high quality on a GPX. However, if you think you need a GPX, please look into this solution that might help you. Happy trails!

As of March 4 2025 all 27 sections of Via Suecia are updated. Some additional info is also included. A big shoutout to fellow hikers who found some discrepancy, that is now sorted. Next update is scheduled to December 2025. Happy trails!

We are delighted to announce a new Trail Angel in Hemavan – a place you will visit hiking the Via Suecia. Wheter you are NOBO or SOBO, Hemavan has food and sport shops.

Our new Trail Angel Blå Bandet is a NGO that owns Blå Gården where our registered hikers can stay in a hut or pitch the tent for a small fee. Please check Blå Bandet out! Happy trails!

Every year the trails is revised due to changes mainly because of new landowners. The main change this year is between Abisko and Treriksröset where part of the section follows Nordkalottleden in Norway. This is the safest way around the Torneträsk Lake and means that the trail will be 20 km shorter. Enjoy!

Did you know that the only official and longest winter trail is Via Suecia/Winter?
Thats right! It starts at the trailhead at the Southern Kungsleden near to Högfjällshotellet in Sälen and goes all the way to Treriksröset. Just follow Via Suecia and adapt to the winter markings and you’ll have a wonderful experience. Happy trails!

Lena M will also support hikers with tranport from Malmö to Smygehuk. Awesome!
Just contact me for more info. Please remember – only for registered hikers. Happy trails!

Guys, great news!
Just heard from Peter B, who is a well known thruhiker living in Malmö, that he can help with your transport to the trailhead in Smygehuk.
Peter, a Tripelcrowner, knows how important it is to have a good start on a long hike. Just reach out to me and I’ll connect you. Just awesome! Thanks, Peter.

Food & camping gas
There is no need to send packages before you go unles you need special food/diet etc. The cost of sending will be much higher than buying along the way plus you support the local shops.

Besides, and from my own experience, you must take in consideration the waste of time it will take to fetch packages/wait for people to get it for you. Some places will even charge you for handling it.

Besides #2: even when you sat at home and counted on what you eventually would need it´s not sure that will be the case once you end up in the mountains.

There will be “real” shops along the way – exept between Kvikkjokk and Abisko and Abisko – Treriksröset. From Kvikkjokk Via Suecia follows the Padjelanta Trail where there are STF and BDL (Badjelannda Laponia Turism) huts along the way. You can buy food in these huts and thus support these organisations. Please remember to bring cash.

Guys, last year meant rooting for Ukraine. I still do, but this year I will be able to have the trailsupport back up and running. Please use the telephonenumber for support, or emal.

No task is too small or silly. So if you need advice, have gear sent to you etc. just hit me.
Happy trails!
