Cycling holidays in Western Sweden

KATTEGATTLEDEN, ARCHIPELAGO ISLANDS AND MORE!

West Sweden is a very popular holiday destination, if not the most popular among locals here in Sweden. Not surprisingly, the coast is not only perfect for spending a beach holiday, but also for active holidays. Kattegattleden, Sweden's first national cycle path, has been voted the most beautiful cycle path in Europe in 2018 in Holland, among others. The cycle route is perfectly signposted, offers about 370 km of cycling fun and leads through the regions of Skåne, Halland and Bohuslän. Despite the pleasant climate and perfect topography (mostly flat), the wind factor should not be underestimated. Therefore, our trips lead from south to north - statistically, the probability of a tailwind is greater here! Välkomna!
