How does a hiking experience work, with hiking for a day and an overnight stay?


Day 1

You arrive at Vårdnäs in the morning on day 1. The earlier the better. You check in at the reception and leave the luggage you want to keep during the hike. At the reception you have the opportunity to ask any questions before your hike. At the reception, you will also receive your lunch package and coffee package with accompanying drink. Take the car to the starting point or walk to the bus stop (approx. 20 minutes walk) and take the bus to the starting point for the hike. Click here to read more about taking the bus to the starting point. Often there are two morning tours and one afternoon tour.


If you have your own car (two cars are needed), you drive to the starting point. It takes between 10 and 20 minutes to drive to the starting points. When you have finished walking, you go and collect the car at the starting point with the help of the other car.


You hike the chosen route and eat the food sent with you and perhaps your own goodies packed in the pack.

You come back to Vårdnäs Stiftsgård on foot and go to the reception and take your luggage and get access to the room to relax or why not settle down in the lounge with a cooling or warming drink?


When evening comes, it is finally time for dinner. Should taste extra good after lovely hours in nature.

After some food in the stomach, the private room and the comfortable bed beckon. Good night!


Day 2

Wake up to a new day! Breakfast and perhaps a short walk at the facility before check-out and journey home.
