Bohuslan

Selected Rock Climbs

1st Edition (2026)

Located on Sweden's beautiful west coast, Bohuslan is one of the finest granite crack-climbing destinations in Europe.

Distinguished by its rugged and rocky coastline, peaceful meadows and extensive mixed forests, this renowned cragging venue offers a superb selection of single- and multi-pitch outcrops, most of which are no more than 10 or 15 minutes from the road. The area is famed for the quality of its granite, producing some world-class crack and face climbs spanning every grade from Severe to E9.

The climbing is centred around the peninsulas of Sotenas and Stangenas, which lie approximately halfway between Gothenburg and Oslo. A long climbing season (April to October), frequent cheap flights, and easy logistics make this a particularly convenient and accessible destination. The area is also a popular spot for family holidays, and is a particularly good choice for climbers travelling with children.
