SECTION: WHY BIKE THE HIGH COAST?

Section Headline:The High Coast Is Made for Biking

Body Text:

The High Coast is famous for its mountains and forests. But here's the thing: the best way to experience it isn't by car. It's by bike.

When you bike, you move at the right speed. You notice things. The smell of pine. The sound of wind through branches. The way light filters through trees in the morning. You feel the landscape in a way that driving never allows.

And the distances? They're perfect. Skuleberget is 10 minutes away. Skuleskogen is 20 minutes. Vårdkallberget is 25 minutes. You can bike to a trailhead, lock your bike, hike for hours, and bike back—all in a single day.

Most guests arrive without a bike. They assume they'll need a car. But once they rent a bike from us, they realize: this is how the High Coast is meant to be explored.

What Guests Say:

"We rented bikes for the day and rode to Skuleskogen. The ride was beautiful. The park was breathtaking. We didn't expect biking to be such a big part of the experience, but it was. We felt more connected to the landscape than we ever would have in a car."— Mika & Sari, Finland (Summer 2025)

SECTION: REAL GUEST STORIES

Section Headline:What Guests Say

Body Text:Real stories from real guests who rented bikes and explored the High Coast.

STORY 1: "The Best Decision We Made"

"We're sailors from Finland. We docked at Docksta Havet for two nights. Tommaso suggested we rent bikes and ride to Skuleskogen. We weren't sure—we'd been sailing for days and thought we'd be too tired. But we did it. And it was the best decision we made all summer. The ride was beautiful. The park was stunning. We felt alive."

— Mika & Sari, Finland (Summer 2025)

STORY 2: "Perfect for Families"

"We have two kids (9 and 12). We rented bikes for the day and rode to Skuleberget. The kids loved it. The ride was easy, the trails were fun, and we all felt like adventurers. Best family day of our trip."

— Family from Stockholm (Summer 2025)

STORY 3: "I Came for the Mountains, Stayed for the Forests"

"I rented a bike and rode to Vårdkallberget. The summit was incredible. But on the way back, I stopped in the forest, set up a hammock (which I also rented), and just... paused. That hour in the forest changed my entire trip."

— Solo traveler from Germany (Summer 2025)
