Holiday in High Coast Sweden: free local guides in 5 languages

Discover multilingual mini-guides for your UNESCO World Heritage adventure

"When I first moved to Docksta in the High Coast (Höga Kusten), every sunrise over our marina reminded me why this place is so special. From the 295-meter summit of Skuleberget to the pristine shores of Skuleskogen National Park, this UNESCO World Heritage site speaks a universal language of natural wonder.

But I noticed something as I welcomed guests from around the world to our marina and accommodations at Docksta Havet Base Camp: while nature might speak to everyone, having a guide in your own language makes the experience even more meaningful.

That's why I created these free online guides - personal introductions to the High Coast available in English, Swedish, German, Finnish, and Italian. Whether you're planning to hike Skuleberget's five trails, explore Skuleskogen's hidden beaches, or sail our archipelago, you'll find local insights in your language."

From Personal Experience to Multilingual Guides

Every guide began with my own adventures: mastering Skuleberget's five paths (Eagle, Lynx, Bear, Elk, and Fox), discovering hidden viewpoints perfect for midnight sun watching, and finding the best spots for morning coffee with panoramic views. The real magic happened when I started sharing these experiences with guests from different countries.

Best of all? These guides are completely free and instantly accessible on our website. No downloads needed - just open and explore at your own pace.

About your guide

Hi! I'm Tommaso, your local host at Docksta Havet Base Camp. Every summer, I have the privilege of welcoming guests from around the world to our UNESCO World Heritage site. Whether they're conquering the Eagle path at Skuleberget, finding tranquility along Vårdkallberget rocky pine forests, or sailing our archipelago, each visitor brings their own unique perspective to the High Coast.

Living here, I've noticed something special: when people explore nature in their native language, they connect with it more deeply. That's why I created these multilingual guides - to help you discover the High Coast like a local, in the language you're most comfortable with. From hidden wind shelters to perfect sunset spots, from challenging trails to peaceful marina moments, these guides (and I) are here to make your High Coast adventure truly memorable.

See you on the trails or at the Sailor's Club House of the marina during the summer!
