The White & Green Ribbon
The White & Green Ribbon is not trail. It is an adventure and a life-changing experience. With your own power, you chart your own route through the Scandinavian mountain range, from Grövelsjön to Treriksröset, or vice versa.
The journey can be undertaken either in summer or winter, with the color of the Ribbon representing the season in which it’s completed. Respect for the environment, the climate, mountain landscape, people, and wildlife is a guiding principle and a given responsibility.
Traveling through the entire mountain range provides experiences and memories that last a lifetime. You have time to simply be, to fully experience, and to reflect. You only need to take care of your most essential needs – staying warm, dry, fed, and safe – but nothing more, unless you choose otherwise. You will gain new insights, both about yourself and the mountain landscape you traverse. And as a wonderful bonus, unexpected opportunities for remarkable encounters, perhaps even friendships for life, await you.
SECTIONS
You can now complete the White or Green Ribbon in sections!
Not everyone has the time, resources, or experience to take on the entire mountain range — about 1,300 km – in one go. That’s why we’re introducing the White & Green Ribbon – Sections: a challenge and an opportunity for those who want to complete their Ribbon over a period of up to five years!
With the White or Green Ribbon Sections, you can start your Ribbon anywhere along the Scandinavian mountain range. You can hike northbound or southbound – whichever direction suits you best – and your sections can vary in length. However, after a maximum of five years, your route must form an unbroken line between Grövelsjön and Treriksröset.
The Section version is, of course, not the same as completing the White or Green Ribbon in one season. It’s a different kind of mountain adventure with a different structure. But Sections offers many more people the chance to (in a sustainable and responsible way, of course) experience the mountains within the framework of the Ribbons. We’re proud and happy to make it possible for more people to head out on their own nature adventure and to offer an achievable goal for a long hike or ski tour.

ABOUT
About the White & Green Ribbon
The White & Green Ribbon in Sweden means that you travel under your own power from Grövelsjön in Dalarna to Treriksröset in the very north, or vice versa. The journeys can be done year-round, and the color of the ribbon indicates which season the journey was completed. Consideration for the environment, climate, mountain landscape, people, and animals is a guiding principle and a given, as is following the right of public access and all applicable rules.
