About us
Made by locals. Selected by experts
Travel for real
An active holiday is definitely more fun. You get so much closer to the landscape, the people, and the small unexpected experiences when you move on foot or by bike. Afterward, the food tastes better and the bed feels more comfortable. We think that's what it means to travel for real.
At your own pace
We offer self-guided trips with pre-booked hotels, luggage transport, and directions to follow during the days. You choose when to travel, how nice you want to stay, and what type of bike you want. You can also book flights from wherever suits you best.
Levels for everyone
We firmly believe that hiking and cycling are for everyone, regardless of fitness, age, or previous experience. That's why we grade our trips into five levels and state the distance and elevation gain in our programs. If you're unsure about your level, just ask us.
Made by locals
Scandinavia's largest range of hiking and cycling comes to you with strong local roots. The trips aren't built at a desk in Sweden but created by local specialists who know the trails, the hidden gems, and the people. We then select the best for you and quality-assure the trips. Naturally, with a travel guarantee.
We at Epic
Dahn
CEO and trail nerd
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 (my Italian friends consider me a bit crazy). Yes, I've lived in Italy for a long time, even though I've worked for Swedish travel companies my entire career.
Axel
Founder and digital trail guardian
As a child in Provence, I tested both gravity and my mother's patience: I preferred climbing the limestone walls of the Calanques to studying my schoolbooks. Hiking became my first love, mushroom hunting my first paycheck, and cycling stole my heart just in time for my thirties crisis. Nowadays, I make sure our systems never get lost.
Johanna
Travel advisor and mingling master
Since my football dream crashed, travel and adventure are what genuinely make me happy, and helping others plan their dream trips with hiking and cycling actually feels almost even better. But don't ask me for smart packing tips, because I haven't cracked that code yet. I always manage to sneak in one too many 'just in case' items.
Emma
Travel advisor and stranded sailor
Ten years ago I crossed the Atlantic on my first adventure, but now my sea legs have traded in for hiking boots (landlubber! my colleagues shout). Traveling and discovering new places is the best thing I know, and helping 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, underwater among fish and coral, on a mountain with skis on, or in the forest with laced-up 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 loves to head out on adventures. Foreign cultures or new hidden gems at home work just as well for me. I especially thrive in nature, on long walks in the forest picking mushrooms and berries, or out on my bike. I also enjoy doing things with friends and family – from spontaneous outings to cozy dinners. Life is about creating memories!
Ulf
Chairman of the Board and hummingbird
Ulf flutters around like a hummingbird between Intoit's various tour operators and thinks it's an absolute blast (as soon as he lands long enough to write his own bio, we'll publish it here). Equally enthusiastic and determined whether it's building fine travel companies, swimming along the Cinque Terre, or cycling from Gothenburg to Nerja. Yes, he has actually done both feats.
