DC Paper - Summer 2020 by Downtown Camper by Scandic

Food, Friends & Fun Downtown Camper Café feat. Campfire.

A Place Called The Nest A good reason to spend summer in the city.

Nature VS City - Dos & Don’ts Robin Trygg helps you adapt to your new environment.

Get by with a little help from your friends

Think about how much we have and yet how often we long for something different. Consider how much we love feeling safe yet yearn for new challenges. We raise our standard but long for the fundamental, the basic. We want to live in the city but be able to enjoy nature. To be able to pack only the most essential, put on our backpack and just leave. We want to improvise and create, seize the day, adjust to the wind and weather and discover new paths in the forest and new streets in the city. We are not only professional or private but everything at the same time, all the time. We are diverse, curious and exploring ’bon vivants’. To us luxury is never about the surface. It’s about connections and encounters, contrasts and inspiration. It’s having the opportunity to gather around the campfire instead of the TV to hear new stories, get new impressions – or suddenly find ourselves out of reach, not being online all the time. Luxury to us is doing something good for other people, and to feel good about ourselves, from the inside. So, put on your backpack and a pair of shoes that works for both an expedition into the unknown part of the big city and for the party tonight. Let us show you where the adventure begins – right here in the heart of the city.

Food, Friends & Fun This summer, Campfire Grill & Bar is heading two floors down to guest the Downtown Camper Café with a menu loaded with mouth-watering comfort food. At this prime location by Stockholm’s most popular walking street, a brand new patio and terrace is offering front-row seats to Drottninggatan, the “aorta” of Stockholm. This means you only need one alimentary destination, for breakfast, lunch and dinner, to remember during your visit. Stay curious, not hungry.

This summer, you will be able to enjoy both the healthy and green menu from the café and the delicious comfort food from Campfire’s grill – in the very same spot. As usual at Downtown Camper, it’s all about sustainability, wellbeing and togetherness, and the offering has been carefully selected accordingly. Plus, all food is served by the table.

simply enjoy together, says Claes Benediktsson, Food & Beverage Manager at Downtown Camper.

Catching up with Robin Trygg We got to know Robin a few years ago, as he was pitching his latest idea: During Downtown Camper’s inauguration party, he wanted to send the guests up and down in a portaledge hanging from the façade of the hotel. Needless to say, we instantly liked him. Robin Trygg, who has a long resumé of expeditions, is maybe best known for mountain climbing at high altitude. He was first in Sweden to climb Mount Everest from both Nepal in the south and Tibet / China in the north, and a new film about his adventures is coming out this summer. Hard to imagine, but Robin is a city kid from start; he’s a genuine Stockholmer and still has his base here. We asked him to share his best tips in a ’nature vs city’ guide, and you can read the result on page 13 in this paper. But first - let’s catch up with Robin. Hi Robin! How come you chose this exciting way of life? I had my first climbing experience in Corsica just after graduating from college, and couldn’t let it go after that. I started travelling around the world to climb different peaks; everything from Kilimanjaro in Africa, Aconcagua in South America and Mont Blanc in France. At some point I managed to become the youngest person in Sweden to climb the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest, and here I am.

Tell us about Trygga Resor. After climbing Mount Everest a second time in the spring of 2016, I started a travel agency called Trygga Resor: The idea is to take people to the foot of the world’s highest mountain. This business idea has become a huge success, and every year since then, we have been taking groups hiking in the heart of the Himalayas. Also allowing me to stay in touch with my friends in Nepal. Through Trygga Resor, I lecture in widely different places around the world - from Shanghai to Båstad. So what are you up to now? This summer, the feature film about my latest climbing expedition on Mount Everest is finally being released: A story that I hope will show a different perspective on this magnificent area. It was shot in spring 2015, as Chhiring and I found ourselves in the middle of an earthquake catastrophe in Tibet. It also depicts the time that followed this event. I dare say that this is a quite unique documentary film in many ways.

I will also be visiting the morning studio on TV4, where I will guide the viewers in various outdoor activities such as hiking, climbing and canoeing. We hope to inspire more people to get out there: Having an adventure in your region What’s your greatest adventure? is possible, you’ll be surprised. This whole pandemic is terrible in every way, Well, except for becoming a father - an unreal experience that changed my life however; we now have a golden opportunity to discover our own country, and in many ways - my favourite adventure is Nepal and the Himalayas. After my Sweden is incredibly beautiful. many years of climbing, I have seen loads of places, but nothing even comes close to the magical Himalayas. Moreover, the local and hospitable Sherpa Got any tips for our readers who want to explore the great outdoors of people always ensures that you are well looked after. Stockholm? In the spring of 2015, I was on the Tibetan high plateau with my friend Of course, there are many adventures to be had near the city for all categories Chhiring Dorje Sherpa. Our idea was to climb two of the world’s highest peaks of people. Hop on the bus from Slussen to Hellasgården, where you can swim, in succession, Cho Oyu (8201 m) and Mount Everest (8848 m). However, we cycle and run in incredible surroundings.

Chhiring and I were lucky to survive and after the event, we stayed in the area to participate in the rescue work on-site: A terrifying task as If you like water, I recommend renting a kayak. Bring a nice picnic, a friend and the area experienced daily aftershocks. But the fact that I was there and had a paddle around Kungsholmen. You’ll have a great experience and, you also get task helped me with my own trauma. to see Stockholm from a different perspective. And your greatest achievement? I am very proud of being selected as an ambassador for the wonderful organisation Min Stora Dag [My Special Day, Ed]. Together we help children with critical illnesses and diagnoses to fulfil their dreams. I am so happy to be a part of that.

And don’t miss the chance to get out in the archipelago if you haven’t been there yet. Jump on a boat from the city centre and pick which one of all the islands you want to explore. Discover the local wilderness and keep an eye out for sea eagles and seals!

Nature VS City DOS & DON’TS

When it comes to the great outdoors vs the city, it goes without saying that entirely different codes of conduct apply. Robin Trygg – one of our favourite adventurers / expeditioner and a Stockholm resident – has made a few observations. Here are some helpful dos and don’ts to keep in mind when adapting to your new environment. So you can feel Trygg. Hi or not to hi? Maybe the most important thing to remember: Always say hi to the people you meet on the path/ trail. Should you slip by without a word, people will think you’re a psycho. Funny enough, the exact opposite applies to the city: Sometimes even saying hi to a neighbour is wrong. Awful but true, but I figure there must be a good reason. Here’s my theory; survival of the fittest! If you are living the busy life, always on a deadline, running from A to B, you would probably be at risk being hit by a bus if you don’t watch your step. And there are simply too many people. So play it safe, be cool and keep on walking. What to wear In Sweden, we have a saying: ”Det finns inget dåligt väder bara dåliga kläder”, which roughly translates to ”there’s no bad weather, only bad clothes”. You get our point – keep it practical and useful when packing for the outdoors. Feet are important; make sure you have good footwear and stay dry. Less is not more here, bring colours - you want to be easily spotted in case hunters lurking in the bushes. In the city, everyone’s favourite colour seems to be black. This colour became a big hit a few years back and unfortunately seemed to have stuck with most people. A black t-shirt camouflages you well in town; you’ll blend in with the crowd. So go with black, and you are safe. Topics of conversation Focus on the moment. Talk about the weather, how long you’ve walked, how much berries or

mushrooms you found and rare birds. In the city, we live in the future. If you pass the first awkward phase of getting to know someone here (we’re talking the time with cynicism, scrutinising and finally, awkward conversation getting to know each other), topics of discussion may or may not move to more rewarding topics. You may also find yourself talking about stuff like career, real estate prices, whether you live in a rental or condominium, or why not the new hip bar down on the corner. What to eat While out trekking, remember to travel light. Freeze-dried food might not be the most fun, but it will keep you alive. Spice it up with some spruce shoots or maybe treat yourself to a nettle soup. My tip; use what you have, and get creative (but stay away from pretty, red mushrooms). Staying in the city? Well, maybe your cuisine will not be much different from spruce shoots and nettles. The trend right now is the local produce which you will see if you visit some of the many Michelin-starred restaurants in Stockholm. The most significant difference will be that hole in your wallet.

of backpack or the weather. The longer the hike, the better, and time is no object. Getting to where you need to go in the city can sometimes be a challenge, especially as city people always seem to be short of time. If you can go where ever you need within 30 minutes, consider yourself a winner. Grab an electric scooter, roll down the street on a skateboard or take the tube. Here’s another thing; city people seem to train their entire lives to find the best shortcuts; especially if it’s raining. That new laptop case too heavy to carry? Uber is the way to go. Fitting in People travel from all around to walk the best trails in our vast country. Being genuine is of high value here, so be yourself. It’s as simple as that. And what’s more charming than a regional accent? In the city, what can I say, it’s more about fitting in, and you can’t fit in if you don’t talk like everyone else. So get rid of your accent or don’t - but at your own risk.

Top destinations Most outdoorsy people will track down the most challenging and deserted tracks and enjoy the fresh air in solitude - the longer and trickier the terrain, the better. In the city, you might find yourself looking for the exact opposite: The most popular watering holes, you know, the kind of place you need to visit to prove you are up to date. Stunning views are never wrong though – works for both city people and nature lovers. And let’s be honest, no matter where we go we all like to be able to brag a little to our friends and get that new, cool selfie.

How to stay Trust me, and I know what I’m talking about here – in the wilderness, you choose your basecamp according to the philosophy of ’the rougher, the better,’ and with no roof/tent, you get your million-star hotel in the sky. If you can’t sleep without it being pitch black, Sweden’s outdoors is not for you. The sun comes up around 3 am and goes down as late as 10.30 pm in the summer. Maybe the city is for you then: The basecamp highest on your list, then you’ve come to the right hotel. The trendiest and most centrally located, where you can sleep under a sky of artificial spotlights or block out any trace of light with black-out curtains.

Means of transportation Your legs play a key role in your being able to explore the wilderness. If you got legs, you can walk, run, climb, swim or even crawl through the most challenging stints. No matter your 15 kgs

A Place Called The Nest

The Nest is no ordinary retreat. It has been designed to boost you at a stand-alone level, with a very modern approach to wellbeing - no hushing, no pointing fingers, no fuss. This is a place where you can be yourself and kick back on your own terms while admiring the city from above. Aching limbs after a day of exploring the city? Take the lift to the top and discover The Nest: An urban retreat and a must-see for all guests. Leave behind the distractions of digital screens and busy traffic, embrace the vibe and discover a whole new take on wellness. Step into the sauna, shaped like a bird’s nest. Lather up in the experience showers, then head outside to the pool for a cold drink and some serious chill. Soon you will be ready for another day. Back to basics The ”spa world” can feel a bit intimidating to many of us: “Do this, do that, and keep your voice down”. Basically, very far from how most of us want to retreat, right? The Nest offers a fresh approach to wellness. The guiding thought behind the concept is to encourage a sustainable lifestyle - one that you can keep up with. Today, we live in a digital world where we deal with loads of unnatural stress factors that affect our health and the way we socialise with others. People start to become aware of the importance of taking better care of themselves; to minimise screen time and focus on the meaningful relationships in life. The Nest offers an including, laid-back and utterly stand-alone experience - a new generation of wellness. Do it yourself There are no traditional spa treatments in The Nest. Instead, the offering has been shaped to encompass sustainability, education and long-term wellbeing. Hence, the focus on DIY treatments,

where the idea is to equip you with the know-how to best take care of yourself and your skin - a knowledge that can be applied and used long after you leave the hotel. It only gets better with time Another important thing to remember is that the tempo in The Nest will increase throughout the day. Visit early if you are looking for some peace and quiet. The music plays softer, and there are fewer people in the retreat. As the evening approaches, the music shifts to an ambient pool club vibe as the adjacent cocktail lounge opens. It’s the perfect time and place for an aperitif in the company of good friends. House Rules Welcome to The Nest - a place for new experiences and inspiration. Togetherness, wellbeing and fun is our focus here and hence, we encourage a mobile-free environment. You are not allowed to talk on your phone, but if you want to take a picture as a memory to keep from your visit, you are more than welcome. Discover flavours from around the world on our drinks menu, meet new and old friends, and enjoy great music to magical views from the top of Downtown Camper. Children are amazing, but up here, they are not our primary focus - we have other spaces in the hotel where kids can be kids. This is a place for adults to socialise and regain energy.

How to book As a hotel guest, you always have priority in The Nest. The admission fee this summer is 245 sek*, and don’t forget to pre-book your visit. Towels, bathrobes and slippers are provided - just don’t forget your swimsuit. Tel. +46 (0) 8 517 263 09 Or simply dial ”2109” from your in-room telephone. Young adults from 16 and up are welcome to visit The Nest.

”A long, graceful pool flanks one edge of the 9th-floor rooftop bar at this new lifestyle hotel in the Swedish capital. It’s heated, and often the sight of steam rising up from it is dreamy on its own.” Forbes
