It’s winter, and Sweden is covered in beautiful snow. It’s months and months since we last drove the tour together and we are all beginning to dream of the offroad summer 2024, Swedish nature and the best company. It’s time to start planning your 2024 summer. Rest assure, the (preliminary) tour schedule for 2024 is […]
Peter Öjerskog was a pioneer for Swedish offroad, and will be missed by many. He did much for offroad in Sweden by making it available for everybody through motor and 4×4 journalism. Starting terrain touring in 1991 and four years later Sweden Offroad Tour, the adventure to the Midnight sun in the North. Thousands of […]

Frida Ericsson och hennes partner Peter Larsson övertar Sweden Offroad Tour från och med nu. Frida ledde SOT under andra pandemiåret och även i somras tillsammans med Peter Larsson. Frida leder SOT bättre än jag och ni kommer att få se förbättringar. Efter 28 härliga år vill Peter Öjerskog tacka alla markägare, klubbar, medarrangörer, sponsorer, […]
There were lots of records on 28:th Sweden Offroad Tour 7-23.7 2023, led by Frida. Half of the 17 SOT places set new participants records, especially in Skåne and Dalarna. Most vehicles had SOT Sågbacken-Hästveda with 91 cars, and then ATV were not even allowed. Unfortunately we lost two of our most popular SOT places: […]
Driving all the way, all the days is a mighty achievement. You and your car need to stand for the pressure. You can drive smart, don’t get too carried away with the driving, and by that avoid unscheduled repair and maintenance out in the trails. The side of the tour that not too many think […]
We had a great day at the last stop of the tour! Nyköping has not been included on SOT for a while so it was the first time at this location for the majority of our participants. It’s a nice feeling, driving in totally unknown trails, not really knowing what obstacles to come and to […]
Compared to earlier years it was a bit dry in the trails but just as fun! The area is 2 km long, including forest trails, a power line covered in high grass and mudpits. It’s a perfect area for beginners new to offroad, testing how the car behaves in steep tilts, back/forward or sideways. It’s […]
Uppsala Rörken – Day 15 If there is any that has space to drive it’s Rörken, two sections (“berget” and “gocart) was open for driving which gave us almost 50 acres to run free on. There are a lot of trails to choose between if you prefer trails, or you can also find your own […]
Wow, what a beautiful location for a driving area. Placed in a valley, with trails up and down the hills under a mixed leaf and fir cover. This year is not the same location as the previous years even if close, just the other side of Hedemora. The new area was prepared just as good […]
Säter is a really versitle driving area including forest trails, a technical obstacle course, motor cross tracks and water passages. The old motor cross trail beeing the favorit for many, enjoying the challenge in finding different ways and directions to climb the steep slopes. 40 cars and ATVs registered. As yesterday this is more drivers […]
We all had a great time our first day in Dalarna enjoying driving in good weather, with some rain late in the afternoon. 34 cars joined, setting out in the trails divided in groups. One group started a bit easier and another that wanted to go for the toughest challenges directly. A day in Ludvika […]
And the rain finally caught up with us, drivers meeting held in between downpours and the best dressed for the day was the ATV drivers in full suits. As it rained heavily both yesterday evening and during the day everything is extra.. Mudpits are extra deep, hills feel longer and all the rocks are extra […]
The second day and what a treat! The rock climbing is something extra when you have the whole day to spend, you can spend an hour on the same rock finding every possible (an impossible) angle to get that perfect climb. Get lost, the area is actually large enough that on the second day straight […]
47 acres of pure joy! What an amazing day, the grip on the rocks in Oskarshamn was just unbelievable. Drivers saying that they have driven where they earlier thought it should be impossible, concurring obstacles one by one. Tonight we are staying put, camp is already set since yesterday so tonight we are relaxing. Or […]
We had a bit unstable weather today, some rain in the morning but mostly just cloudy and still warm. The trails were muddy which added a bit of challenge. The club had prepared two new trails, one easy and the other harder. But most loved was still the classic mud pits next to the […]
SOT weekend at Oskarshamn is a two day event, Friday and Saturday. One day 300kr, or 500kr for both days. The local club will be serving lunch both days. On the Friday we can already say that it will be the classic Swedish ‘Kroppkakor’ on the menu. The kiosk will be open, offering sodas and […]
Today the rain caught up with us. We have been enjoying the sun until now but in Växjö the rain started falling shortly after the drivers meeting and continued throughout the day. This actually created a great day for us who were there. Driving the trails with treebranches above the cars, heavy and green from […]
Karlshamn Paradiset – Day 5It’s always such a great day driving in this area, the leaf forest is just something extra. Truely magic. Again we had luck and got a great offroad weather, sunny in the day and some rain the night before that made the mud pits just perfect. Just slightly less participants this […]
Unfortunately SOT Olerum is cancelled this year, we have been hoping for more rain but as it is the risk is just too high with the forest being so dry. However we will still be able to both drive offroad and have two nights in the same location as SOT Oskarshamn will be extended – […]
