Loop Trails in Sweden

We track 789 routes that match this search in Sweden. They average 5.7 km and 124 m (407 ft) of ascent, with the longest running to 137 km.

That is 34 percent of the 2,290 routes we map in Sweden. They are shorter than the local average, 5.7 km against 12.4 km, which is what makes this a practical shortlist for a half day. They also climb less than the area average, 124 m (407 ft) against 252 m (827 ft), so they suit a recovery day or a group with mixed fitness.

Circular routes: park once, finish where you started, and never walk the same section twice. The mix is broad: 587 are rated easy and 30 are hard or harder, so there is something here whether you have two hours or a full day. A good share of them are loops, so you can park once and finish where you started.
