STF, the Swedish Tourist Association, is a nonprofit membership organisation working to make Sweden’s nature and culture accessible to everyone, now and in the future. It promotes responsible tourism, protects the right of public access to nature and supports personal, sustainable accommodation across the country. Travellers can search and book places to stay, including hostels, mountain stations and mountain cabins, with options for groups, meetings and guests with specific needs.

Members receive benefits such as discounts on accommodation and train journeys, access to the Turist magazine and a digital membership card. STF also helps visitors plan outdoor experiences, offering activities and inspiration for hiking, mountain trekking, skiing and other pursuits, alongside practical guides on equipment, routes and outdoor skills. Its 65 local chapters organise activities near home, from walking and paddling to cultural experiences.

Members and other supporters can contribute through volunteering, local engagement, donations and advocacy. Through travel, services and community involvement, STF encourages more people to discover Sweden while helping safeguard its natural and cultural heritage
