7. SLEEP ”LIKE A CHAMP”

In the evening we meet up at the shared night camps. Here you can chose to pitch your tent more secluded or together with others. At the first night camp many go for a swim in the ocean before making dinner, relax on the cliffs and attend any of the workshops. At the second day night camp many hike to the top of Mr. Gyltberget and enjoy the views together with Naturkompaniet’s outdoor school.

As many of the hikers attending this event might not have hiked that much before, we put these tips together. Listen to these and you might sleep surprisingly well.

8. ASK QUESTIONS

During this hike you will meet guides from outdoor companies that are here for you. So please ask questions ”Does my tent look alriught?” or ”Could you help me adjust my back pack?” Naturkompaniet will join us on the hike and are pro’s on everything outdoor related.

However, do not hike in brand new hiking boots. Make sure you hiked atleast a few miles before attending the event. ALso make sure to pitche your tent a few times and that you know how to operate your outdoor stove. If you got those bases covered, this will be a great adventure.

HOW TOUGH IS THE HIGH COAST HIKE?

Well this is very individual and depending if you hike the Classic or the Pleasure routes. First of all, lets just say that looking at kilometers could trick you since we will hike along coastal mountains. 

But we have created two routes through the absolute most beautiful spots in the High Coast of Sweden and if you come prepared and in decent shape you will be able to take the Classic Route.

However, if you are not that used to hiking with a backpack, know that you can get sore knees or a sore back or hike with children we recommend you to take the Pleasure route the first day to get a feeling of te terrain. In order to enjoy the High Coast Hike you must have hiked with your packed backpack a few times. Most people who have to quit the hike have not prepared for the hike. If you come prepared, this will be an amazing experience.
