Europe

If we were to mention ABBA, Björn Borg, Greta Garbo or Santa Claus, what would it conjure up for you? No need to contemplate for long, it’s Sweden, of course! A magical land on the Baltic Sea, as cold as it is unpopulated. Because that’s what Sweden is: a land where there are more pine trees than people, a country undiscovered by tourists and unspoiled by the madness of men. Between stretches of water,&nbsp;sleigh dogs, herds of reindeer, the aurora borealis and royal castles, Sweden offers a dazzling spectacle of beauty and nature, particularly in Lapland. That’s one side. On its other side, you will find urban Sweden, modern and busy, the forerunner of design and the grande dame of music. You will visit the lively districts of the Stockholm archipelago and its 24,000 isles and islands. You’ll be carried away by a very special atmosphere, unique to the north, and perhaps you’ll even be taken for a Viking on the island of Björkö!

Made up of lakes, wild forests, high plateaus, staggering glaciers and peaks, Stora Sjöfallet national park provides what the majority of travellers come there in search of: nature, nature and even more nature. The Sami, a people that were previously nomadic living off crops and game, are the only people who live in the area throughout the year. Now they have become settled, they specialise in tourism by managing the few lodges along the hiking paths and in raising reindeer.  <a href="/sweden/">During my stay in Sweden</a>, I crossed a section of the park by following the Kungsleden, the royal route which stretches over 400 km and crosses the absolutely breathtaking countryside at the northern edges of Europe. Summer is without doubt the season to go there, with bearable temperatures and maximum sun, the midnight sun and abundant flora and fauna. Strictly speaking the lack of accommodation makes the region quite tricky to travel in during the winter season.
