What is our story?

Discover a country where nature is always present. As many as 68 million acres out of Sweden’s total 111 million acres are covered in forest and the country is scattered with nearly 100 000 lakes. Add to that a coastline stretching some 2400 kilometres, replete with numerous archipelagos – from north to south. Moreover, Sweden boasts the highest number of islands in the world, amounting to more than 267 000.

Nature is an integral part of the Swedish lifestyle and swedes are adamant that it contributes not just to their physical well-being but mental health, too.
