About us

Real hiking trips & cycling trips since 2006

Travel for real

For us, it's trail happiness that counts. Exploring the world on foot and by bike is what we love most. No form of travel provides a more intimate experience of the destination, its views, scents and people than a hiking trip or cycling trip. That's why Travel for real is our motto.

We want to make it easy for you by offering more hiking trips and cycling trips than anywhere else. What this means for you who long for the next wonderful travel experience is that you don't have to search around. Our idea is that you provide the wanderlust, we provide the rest.

Swedish trips with local character. We collaborate with carefully selected local partners who live their destinations every day. They know when trails are rerouted and where the hidden gems are. We then select the best for you and ensure quality, safety and convenience from booking to homecoming.

We at Epic

Dahn

CEO and trail enthusiast

I have admittedly poor patience with both cities and bus windows. All the more fun then to hike, mountain bike, surf, do yoga or cold-water swim in alpine lakes (I'm considered slightly crazy by my Italian friends). Yes, I've lived in Italy for a long time even though I've worked for Swedish travel companies throughout my career.

Axel

Founder and digital trail guardian

As a child in Provence, I tested both gravity and mom's patience: I preferred climbing the limestone walls of Calanques rather than diving into schoolbooks. Hiking became my first love, mushroom hunting my first salary, and cycling stole my heart just in time for my thirty-year crisis. Nowadays I make sure our systems never get lost.

Johanna

Travel advisor and networking master

Since the football dream crashed, it's travel and adventure that makes me genuinely happy, and getting to help others plan their dream trips with hiking and cycling feels almost even better. But don't ask me about smart packing tips because I haven't cracked the code yet. I always manage to sneak in one too many 'just in case' garments.

Emma

Travel advisor and stranded sailor

Ten years ago I crossed the Atlantic on my first adventure, but now my sea legs have gotten hiking boots (landlubber! the colleagues shout). Traveling and discovering new places is the best thing I know, and getting to help our travelers find the right trip is like sharing your favorite cake.

Niklas

CEO and errand boy at Intoit

I thrive best outdoors. In a sailboat on the sea, below the surface among fish and corals, on a mountain with skis on, or in the forest with laced boots and my dog by my side. When I can't be outside, I'm CEO and jack-of-all-trades at Intoit, where I support, fix and help in every way I can.

Linda

Economist and everyday adventurer

I'm a curious soul who likes to go on adventures. Foreign cultures or new hidden gems at home work just as well. I especially thrive in nature, on long walks in the forest with mushroom and berry picking or on the bike. I also like to come up with things to do with friends and family – from spontaneous outings to cozy dinners. Life is about creating memories!

Ulf

Chairman and hummingbird

Ulf flutters around like a hummingbird between Intoit's various tour operators and thinks it's the most fun thing ever (as soon as he lands long enough to write his own presentation, we'll publish it here). Equally enthusiastic and determined whether it's about building great travel companies, swimming along Cinque Terre or cycling from Gothenburg to Nerja. Yes, he has actually done both ordeals.

Epic Trails history

  • 2006: The business was founded and was then located in Höllviken in southernmost Skåne.
  • 2010: The current company was formed as TRAVL Sweden AB.

Our philosophy is that pleasant exercise in magnificent nature isn't just for outdoor enthusiasts. Traveling at a pace where all your senses can keep up simply provides a better travel experience. After some hiking and cycling, the food tastes even better and the bed feels even more comfortable. Health and sustainability come as a bonus!
