True freedom
Canoeing at Glaskogen in Värmland

Organisation/Company:

Arvika Kanot & Turistcenter
The nature of Värmland is stunning, from the mountains of the north to the flatlands of the south. And the experts at Arvika Kanot & Turistcenter can help you to make the most of it with their quality canoeing, kayaking, cycling and boating/fishing experiences in the region.

Wonderfully, this ecotourism, multi-activity centre also has its very own Adventure Island where you can camp – all on your own, with the forest, lake and nature for company. Otherwise, the centre has a choice of local accommodation.

The canoeing trips range from 3-day tours to one, or two-week trips on the waterways and lakes of the region. The centre provides all the top-quality equipment you could possibly need. Or, if you bring your own, the friendly staff can provide with you with their expert advice and maps.

For budding Tarzans, the centre has a high ropes course where you can traverse the lush forest canopy at a height of between 8 and 18 metres via a series of bridges, walkways and obstacles. And coming back down to earth, the centre will help you with cycle rental and cycling equipment if you want to discover Värmland on two wheels.

On water, from the air, or on two wheels, discover beautiful outdoors Värmland with the experts at Arvika Kanot & Turistcenter.

Come to the big outdoors

Depending on which time of year you come to Sweden think ‘outdoor activities’. In wintertime, Sweden is a haven for winter sports such as skiing, skating and ice climbing. While in spring and summertime you can enjoy trekking, mountaineering, white-water rafting, canoeing, sailing and many other adrenaline-filled pursuits.

Central and northern Sweden are dotted with winter and year-round resorts where you can enjoy skiing, dog-sledding, snow scooters, white water rafting and hiking, to mention just a few. From trekking in the serene wilderness that is Sarek National Park to pitching camp with the Sami, the indigenous people of Swedish Lapland, Sweden offers unique outdoors activities, landscapes and experiences.

Play golf in Sweden

Sweden has made a name for itself as a golfing nation with the success of golfing legend Annika Sörenstam and leading PGA Tour players Carl Petterson and Henrik Stenson. This is an achievement made more remarkable given Sweden’s long winters, but unsurprising given the quality of Sweden’s golf courses.
