Stage 8 of the High Coast Trail covers 11.5 km from Skuleberget to Skuleskogen Entré Syd, with 382 m of ascent and 350 m of descent. The highest point is 202 m. Allow about 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.
Kälsviken
Two wind shelters and a designated tent site by the sandy bay of Kälsviken in Skuleskogen National Park, about 1.3 km from the Entré Syd car park. In the park you may only camp at marked sites, for up to three nights.
Renovated Ångermanland farmhouse with 5 rooms and 14 beds and self-catering, about 1.7 km off the trail near the south side of Skuleskogen National Park; open June to August, contact by email (villaskuleskogen@gmail.com).
Wind shelter on the trail about 3 km before Entré Syd, mapped on OpenStreetMap; not on the official list, so do not count on it.
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
