The High Coast region has been placed on UNESCO's World heritage list and is Sweden's highest coastal area, with mountains plunging down into the sea. The irregular topography of the region, with lakes, inlets and flat hills up to 350 meters above sea level, has been shaped by glacial retreat and new land rising up from the sea. The route takes you through the heart of the High Coast World Heritage Site and offers unspoiled countryside, spectacular views and a dramatic coastline. Each evening you have the opportunity to hike to surrounding mountain tops for panoramic views of the fjords and ocean.

how this holiday makes a difference

We promote sustainable travels that benefit the local regions we visit, by making the following efforts:
|
Tourism can be good and bad for destinations & local people. We carefully screen every holiday against our criteria for responsible travel. 'Look behind the brochure' to find how each holiday makes a difference (see left). We don't claim to be perfect - there is no global accreditation - but we've lead the way since 2001 and screened 1000's of holidays. We invite every traveller to write a review about their experiences and responsible tourism. This valuable feedback is sent to the people who run the holidays. We keep a very close eye on it and take off holidays that don't live up to our standards. |
