Gröna Bandet (2021)

On this page we will share links and information related to our hike on the Gröna Bandet Trail the summer of 2021.

Gröna Bandet (“Green Ribbon” in English) is an initiative created by Torkel och Annica Ideström, with the first Gröna Band taking place in 2011 and which you can read about on their website: www.vitagronabandet.se. There is also Vita Bandet (“White Ribbon”) which is the same but is done during the winter, while Gröna Bandet is done during the summer. The point is to travel from Grövelsjön in the south to Treriksröset in the north, or the opposite, but by yourself. The journey should be made without longer pauses and without outside help (for example food delivered to the traveller up on a mountain by a snowmobile). The traveller is supposed to take the environment, nature and culture into consideration while doing this journey. It is not a competition, and as few rules as possible are set. You are to pass west of certain points so that you stay in the mountain range and the way of travelling should be without any kind of vehicle. The use of dogs, kite, reindeers and similar are allowed, but they will be registered as that kind. To read more, check out their website!
