For several years, our signature flag has been seen from Smygehuk to Treriksröset. In 2026, The Via Suecia is celebrating its 5th anniversary and every registered hiker will be issued The Flag. It started one winter to make people driving snowmobiles aware of skiers and since then it has followed whenever our crew is hiking The Trail.
The Flag also acts like a real ice-breaker – people you meet will ask about you and The Trail so its a great way of connecting. It’s also a bit shnazzy having The Flag on a stick in front of your tent.
And it’s also a great motivator when the going gets tough and the goal seems far away. So welcome to Via Suecia – The Swedish trail, looking forward hearing from you soon.
