This study aims to explore the potential of the High Coast in using its natural areas and outdoor life's resources in relation to public health issues - a region that is known for its beautiful natural views and makes many visitors return. The question I now ask is how these resources are utilized against the population and its health and whether there is any further potential. The study was conducted in a qualitative interview study, with people working with outdoor life and public health issues with connection to the High Coast. The interviews were semi-structured and analyzed using a thematic analysis method. The results are then discussed in relation to previous studies in the subject. The study shows that there is potential for the High Coast to work more clearly with outdoor life in relation to public health issues. However, there are some difficulties in the issue having such a breadth and so does the individuality of the exercise or the non-exercise, this means that people are difficult to reach and motivate for a richer outdoor life in everyday life. It is about organizations having to identify the barriers that people experience most strongly and begin their work there. The issue then lands in resources, as it is the basis of how much a change can be affected from the outside.
