What are the most spectacular roads in Sweden?

Located in the northern part of Europe, Sweden hosts mountain roads, stunning coastal drives, and with cold weather in the north, when winter sets its icy fingers across the land, certain routes transform into ice roads. Don’t forget that about 15% of the country is above the Arctic Circle. If you’re up for a drive across ice roads, remember to drive the Storsjön Lake ice roads in the picturesque region of Jämtland or the Luleå Archipelago ice road, the longest ice road in the country.

If you prefer mountain roads, Sweden offers you the stunning Flatruet, the highest public road in the country, climbing up to 964m (3,162ft) above sea level in Jämtland County. And for fans of scenic drives, Vildmarksvagen is the Wilderness Road of Sweden. Part of the road is closed during winter at times because of heavy snow, and it’s one of the highest roads in the country. Along the road, you’ll find some of the wildest areas in Sweden (hence the name, the Wilderness Road).
