High Coast Winter Classic: Swedens first multiday hike on Snowshoes
To hike
with snowshoes has become more and more popular. In this light it is only
natural that the first multiday snowshoe hike – High Coast Winter Classic – is
launched. The snowshoe hike takes place in the High Coast, one of Sweden’s
World Heritage Sites. The participants sleep in tents but are guided by an
introduction course in outdoor life during winter already the first evening.
Anyone can enjoy the winter landscape.
”With the right preparation, equipment
and knowledge anyone can enjoy the magnificent winter landscape” says
Engström. ”Since winter sometimes is seen
as too cold or dark for hiking you could however need a bit of support to set
out. That is why we organize transports, food, snowshoes and also an education
about outdoor life in winter.”
The more the merrier.
During the last years you can see a movement from setting out in nature
yourself to participating in outdoor events. According to Engström it is the
company of others that is attracting participants. ”When you set out in nature
together you get a magic feeling. Titles are put aside and the company has a
tendency to become more open and relaxed next to a campfire” says Engström.
Already in 2013 Engström launched the hiking event High Coast Hike, a 40 kilometer hike that attracted participants from all over the world. The three day long snowshoe adventure becomes Engströms second large outdoor event in the High Coast. But he has more ideas. ”The High Coast has a unique nature you cannot find anywhere else in Sweden. The High Coast is made for adventures” says Engström with a smile.
