It’s 2018. Two tired trekkers happen to stop to catch their breath by the same rock along the trail of Fj?llr?ven Classic Sweden, only to have their breath taken away by each other. Five years later, Ton and Lorena got engaged at the same spot, and then they completed the trilogy by actually getting married on the trail during the 2024 trek! You never know when true love will strike. We can’t always promise such hot gossip from the trail, but when you join our newsletter we can deliver all the latest info regarding routes, dates and tickets for upcoming Fj?llr?ven Classic events.

We’re pleased to announce we don’t have a new CEO.

It’s 1966. Science, both fictitious and real, is a hot topic. Governments everywhere are sending scientists on research missions, leaving no part of the world unexplored. Greenland, with its vast glaciers and challenging landscape is the destination for a Scandinavian group of alpinists and researchers who head off equipped with Fj?llr?ven backpacks and tents. The mission is a success. The group return home armed with extensive studies of Greenland’s glaciers, but they were disappointed with the performance of their clothing. Fj?llr?ven founder, ?ke Nordin, saw a challenge. Could he create the perfect all-round outdoor adventure jacket? A jacket that kept you warm and dry; that wouldn't wear out or weigh you down. After many months spent prototyping and borrowing ideas from ski jumpers from the north of Sweden, ?ke developed his G-1000 fabric and Greenland Wax. The rest is history. The Greenland Jacket, launched in 1968, went on to enable a whole generation of nature lovers to spend more time outdoors. Almost 60 years later, with minor revisions to the fit and updates to more eco-friendly materials, it’s one of our most iconic products. Find yours here: https://lnkd.in/gXDBeRQz #Fjallraven

On a bitterly cold night in 1974, Fj?llr?ven founder ?ke Nordin decided to never feel cold again. He did not know it at the time, but he was starting a journey to create the legendary Expedition Down Jacket. He just wanted to stop his teeth from chattering. The formula was simple: he hated being cold, so he designed a jacket that insulated against freezing temperatures better than any other on the market.??Today, we have the 1974 Expedition Series, a range of functional winter jackets inspired by the original. The looks of them have changed little over the years, testament to the timeless design of the original, and we know plenty of people who are still wearing theirs after more than 30 years thanks to our commitment to durability.
