Moderate Hiking Trails in Sweden

758 routes in Sweden qualify, ranked below by how much walkers rate them. They average 10.2 km and 222 m (728 ft) of ascent.

That is 33 percent of the 2,290 routes we map in Sweden.

Moderate routes are the sweet spot for most regular walkers: enough climbing to feel like a proper day out, never enough to turn into an ordeal. These lean toward the demanding end, so plan for a full day and check the forecast before you commit.
