The High Coast, Sweden

Along the shores of northern Sweden, the High Coast rises sharply from the Gulf of Bothnia, revealing one of Scandinavia’s most dramatic and ever-changing landscapes. Shaped by the world’s strongest ongoing land uplift, the terrain continues to emerge from the sea, forming steep forested hills, deep inlets, and far-reaching vistas that reward those who climb above the coastline. From hilltops and open ridgelines, the landscape unfolds in layers of water, rock, and sky, stretching seemingly without end.
