Fjällräven Classic
The Fjallraven classic in simple terms is a trek through nature. It is a chance to socialise with other hikers and enjoy the trek of a lifetime. Expanding from the original location in Sweeden, you can now join Fjallraven Classic in eight different locations around the world: Sweden, Denmark, Germany, US, Korea and Hong Kong.
The idea came from Fjallraven founder Ake Nordin, at the start of the 21st Century. He had always been inspired by the dramatic landscapes and breath-taking scenery of the Swedish mountains. With the aim of wanting others to explore the same landscapes and feel the freedom of spending a few days trekking on the trail, he created the Fjallraven Classic.
The first Swedish Classic took place in 2005, with 152 finishers. Today, the Fjallraven Classic really does reach the masses, 10 years later there was 2136 finishes in 2015, followed by even more in 2019 and soon to be at the Fjallraven Classic Sweden 2022.
