Short walk in the woods - We were initially supposed to do a snowshoe hike but the weather was not suitable. So we went on a nature excursion with Olivier.
The guide was really nice and his story and his project (with his wife) is really fascinating.
We walked around for 6 hours. We walked, ate, looked at the landscapes and nature. The setting is magnificent. We ended up with an exciting relic of the Great World War.
I recommend !

Winter Hike with Noisy Frozen Lake - I came to Sweden for a couple of winter nature experiences, and Green Trails stands out as one of the best organizations I went with. First, Patrick was a phenomenal guide. He's patient, relaxed, funny and tells hilarious stories. He strikes me as being in his element with his knowledge of animals and nature, but also of Swedish culture. The winter hike itself was phenomenal. We hiked a snowy forest infrequently visited by folks, and trekked across a huge frozen lake. We know we were safe, but it raced the heart to hear the loud, booming thunderclap noise of the lake adjusting to temperature changes! We didn't see critters but I wasn't expecting a lot there. If for nothing else, go along for the campfire vitals. The Finnish lentils at lunch with hot drinks and dessert hit the spot!! Great adventure!

A light adventure in a beautiful forest near Stockholm - Really enjoyable walk on an easy trail about half an hour outside Stockholm. We set off late morning from the pickup point, after introduction and brief instruction on what to expect on the trail.
Our guide George was very familiar with the area and was able to tell us a great deal about the local area and the forest.
The hike took us through the forest and around the lakes on mostly flat terrain. After few hours of walking we sat down for a lunch and coffee, provided by the organisers in a very picturesque and quiet area by the lake.
With the lunch done, we took slightly different route back. There were quite a few other hikers in the area, but we managed to avoid the busy parts due to the knowledge of our guide.
Overall we spent about 4 hours in the forest. While I would have preferred to have a slightly longer hike, the tour is aimed at an average walker and is not very demanding.
It was a great day out in the forest with a mix of interesting people in the tour group to share the experience.

A perfect day hiking - My husband and I and our 21 year-old daughter recently went on a full day hike with Patrick as our guide. We all agreed it was our absolute favorite activity of our 5-day trip to Stockholm. We had perfect weather -- clear skies and warm but not hot temperatures -- and we to a national park about a 30-minute drive from downtown Stockholm. We learned a ton about the plants and animals in the area and thoroughly enjoyed the quiet and solitude of off-trail hiking. Patrick taught us how to identify edible and inedible mushrooms and we picked wild blueberries which we later ate with custard as dessert/fika. We learned fire-starting and cooked lunch over our fire. It was a perfect day. Patrick did a good job of tailoring the day to our abilities and interests and we loved hearing his stories about life in Sweden as a guide and teacher. We HIGHLY recommend Green Trails and Patrick in particular.

A day hike with Mattias - My wife and I signed up for the day hike. All ran perfectly. We met Mattias at the appointed location and 3 others joined to make a group of 5 clients. The weather was perfect and it was nice to get out of Stockholm for a day and into nature. Mattias was great. He engaged with each of us very well and taught us a bit about fire building, using a compass to navigate, etc. It was a wonderful, relaxing day in nature. The hiking was active, but not super challenging. It made for a great day out of the city.

Wonderfull hiking in Tyresta National Park - Our family of four (husband, 18-y daughter, 14-y son and me) booked this hiking with Green Trials. We were met by Pierre in Cafe String in Sodermann. He took us, along with another couple, to Tyresta National Park, a 30min drive from the cafe. We started walking through the trails and then he took us off-trail, back to the trail, and again off-trail. Along the walk, we picked up wild blueberries and Lingonberries. Pierre explained many things along the way, showing us trees, trails, animal tracks. He had previously asked what each was expecting of the trip and he made sure we all got what we requested. He took us to a point for a 10min meditation moment, then to 3 lakes, we had lunch and fica provided by Green Trials by one of the big lakes, showed us how to light a fire, showed us the lodge of the beavers, the birds, the fish, etc.. We spent the last 30 minutes walking off trail very quiet looking for animals; we saw many animal tracks and poop but no big animals, although we saw a woodpecker, several other birds, frogs, and other insects. It was such an awesome experience, one of the highlights of our trip to Stockholm!!!!! Thanks Pierre for a wonderful experience!!!
