Few places on earth rival Scandinavia for variety, serenity, and space to roam. In Norway, fjord-side trails lead to dramatic peaks and mirror-still lakes surrounded by wildflower meadows. Sweden offers tranquil forests, island archipelagos, and gentle coastal walks dotted with fishing villages. Each country has its own rhythm - but all share the same spirit: freedom, nature, and quiet adventure.

From Norway’s dramatic fjords to Sweden’s tranquil beaches, Scandinavia hiking vacations offer a blend of untamed nature, rich culture, and complete peace of mind.

Walk through glacier-carved valleys, cross charming wooden bridges, and explore storybook villages - all while we take care of your accommodation, luggage transfers, and detailed route notes.

With Macs Adventure, you’ll enjoy the freedom of independent travel with the reassurance of expert local support.

Best Time to Visit Scandinavia
The best time for hiking in Scandinavia depends on your style of travel.

June to August: Long daylight hours, ideal for hiking in Norway and photography.

May & September to October: Quieter trails, cooler air, and stunning fall colors. September is lovely for Norway, while May & September are ideal for our Sweden Osterlan Way tour.

October to March: While these are the best times to see the Aurora Borealis (aka Northern Lights), we don't offer tours from Nov - April due to harsh weather conditions for hiking. However, if luck is on your side you might be able to experience the Northern Lights at any time of year.

If spotting the Aurora Borealis is on your list, aim for clear nights - away from city lights for the best chance.
