The High Coast World Heritage Site offers a digital guide to the area
The High Coast is one of Sweden's most dramatic landscapes, with steep cliffs, islands and forests along the northern Baltic coast – and a UNESCO World Heritage Site thanks to the land rising out of the sea since the last Ice Age, faster than almost anywhere else on earth. The Höga Kusten app is the area's official visitor guide, bringing nature, culture and family experiences together in one place.
About the High Coast
The High Coast spans four municipalities in Västernorrland County. It offers hiking trails and nature reserves, fishing villages and historic settings, and a wide range of accommodation, restaurants and events. Visitors have plenty to choose from – and long distances to plan for.
The app
The Höga Kusten app is built on OnSpotStory's platform and helps visitors find the best the area has to offer, whether they've come to hike, experience culture or do something with the family.
The app includes:
- An interactive GPS map showing where you are and what's nearby – activities, accommodation and restaurants.
- Activity tips by season, interest and age, from hiking and culture walks to family experiences.
- Hiking trails, themed trips and town and culture walks.
- Boat and public transport timetables.
- Notifications about events, offers and important information during your visit.
- Favourites you can save and share with friends and family as you plan your trip together.
The app is constantly evolving. In 2024 and 2025 it gained, among other things, improved search, map filters and a chatbot that answers visitors' questions.
