Stage 5 of the High Coast Trail covers 13.7 km from Lappudden to Ullånger, with 330 m of ascent and 345 m of descent. The highest point is 221 m. Allow about 5.5 hours of walking, plus breaks.
Distance, climb and elevation come from the Outest route data. Difficulty and time are estimates from distance and climb; your pace will vary with heat, pack weight and photo stops.
Small hotel and restaurant in the centre of Ullånger, on the trail; rooms cost about SEK 1,195–1,895 a night in 2026. The restaurant is closed in autumn and winter 2026, but you can call to arrange a room; a Coop supermarket and a pizzeria are nearby.

Small trail cabin of about 10 m² with two bunks and a wood stove, on the trail about 4 km before Ullånger. Free, cannot be booked; share with other hikers.
ArkNat shelter built in the trees on the forested top of Körningsberget, on the trail about 2 km after Lappudden. Free, cannot be booked; share with other hikers.
Checked online in October 2026. Places marked "listed, not confirmed" appear in the official trail guidebook or on OpenStreetMap but not on a current official listing or their own website. The trail huts and wind shelters are free, cannot be booked and must be shared, so carry a tent. Hostels, B&Bs and campsites in the villages have only a few rooms and many open only in summer: book ahead for June to August.
Emergency: call 112 and ask for the police for a lost or injured hiker. Medical advice: 1177. Emergency & health guide
