I like it!

Summer here for us in Norrland is bathed in daylight around the clock. Just as Mother Nature and all the animals, we too seldom sleep. The strength and the energy from the sun rub off on all of the surroundings.

This is not the time for people having trouble sleeping unless it it totaly dark in the room. I had several customers at my shop , when I run it, who was complaining of bad sleep due to the light in the nights.


Plants grow around the clock, animals are awake and moving about, and everything and all sleep just for a few short moments.

There is adventure and things to do in our pristine and powerful surroundings, things that entice our very spirit. We are making up for those hours we slept away during the long, dark winter.

If you want, you can go river running! Extremly fun!

You can take a trip for 3 houres upp to 2,5 day. I f you take the longer ones you stay the night outside or in a Kåta, making dinner over open fire and having a grate time! There is also possible to take sauna baths and some great fishing. You dont have to bring anything exept yourself and a happy mood! You get wetsuits, s leepingbags, food and all what you might need.

I think i recomend the ordinary tour for aboute 3 hours since the action is enough if the waterlevel is low wich it often are during the summer.

You can also go horseback riding, highttracking, driving forrweels, the most popular right now bouth winter and summer is to take a evening with good friends and rent a outside bathtub, place it near water or loose snow, dont forget the beer.

 Winter:

 The country between the coast and the  mountains is characterized by its natural diversity. It is a wild and ever-changing landscape with great forest lands and mountains, small, beautiful ponds and mighty lakes.
The trails through them are sometimes rugged and sometimes you have to be tough to conquer them.For those of us wh
o live here, the snowmobile is our greatest pleasure in winter. It is also a workhorse that helps us care for our unique natural surroundings and our magnificent forests.

There is a lot of places that will rent you a snowmobil. I recomend you to take a snowmobilsafari if you want to try it out. all from a half day to a week! Not so expensive!
