Description

When you think of climbing in Scandinavia, Sweden probably isn't the first place that comes to mind. Neighboring Norway, with its legendary mountains and fjords, gets all of the attention.

Sweden does, however, offer some excellent climbing. You may not find the sweeping walls that you would find in Norway, but there is some excellent cragging in Sweden. The area of Bohuslan, about 90 minutes north of Gothenburg, offers some of the finest trad cragging anywhere. There is also great climbing around Stockholm and not too far north of Copenhagen on the Kullaberg peninsula.

Swedes are super friendly, and the prices are a relief to anyone who has spent time in Norway. The next time you are climbing in Scandinavia, check out Sweden - you might be pleasantly surprised by what you find.

Getting There

Depending where you are starting from, Sweden can be reached by air, ferry or car.

For climbers wishing to visit the world-class trad climbing area of Bohuslan, Gothenburg (aka Goteborg; 90 minutes to the south) or Oslo (2 hours to the north) are the most convenient airports.
