本文探讨了在瑞典山区参与各种户外娱乐和旅游活动的性别差异，以及这些活动是如何从性别角度描绘的五个主要旅游目的地的网站。花时间在大自然中与更好的健康和福祉有关，本文有助于研究妇女和男子在享受这些优势方面的不平等机会。结果表明，在户外娱乐的参与和代表性方面都存在性别差异。观察到的性别差异不仅符合传统的异性恋，而且还表明，户外娱乐的新趋势进一步有利于传统的男性与自然接触的模式。这表明不仅需要重新思考性别规范，而且需要重新思考人类与自然的一般关系。
This paper examines gender differences in participation in various outdoor recreation and tourism activities in the Swedish mountain region, and how these activities are portrayed from a gender perspective on the websites of five major tourist destinations. Spending time in nature has been linked to better health and well-being, and this article contributes to research on the unequal opportunities women and men have in taking part of such advantages. Results show that there is a gender difference in both participation and in representation of outdoor recreation. The observed gender difference is not only in line with the traditional heteronormativity but also suggests that new trends in outdoor recreation are further favoring traditionally masculine modes of engagement with nature. This suggests the need for re-thinking not only gender norms but also human relationships with nature in general.
