Grand Nature Adventures with a Side of Grilled Char
Coast, mountains, rivers, and deep forests – Västerbotten offers nature experiences for every season and interest. Best paired with a local taste sensation – so why not bring a locally produced cider to the mountain summit and prepare your freshly caught char by the Vindel River? Selecting only three nature experiences poses a challenge.
3 x Västerbotten Nature Highlights:
The Vindel River
The Swedish National river Vindelälven runs from the mountains to the sea. Historically used as a migration route for people, reindeer and timber, the river is also a great area for recreation. Designated as a Unesco Biosphere Reserve, you can river raft, hike, bike or fish in one of Europe's largest protected areas, Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve.
Hemavan
As northern Sweden's largest ski resort, Hemavan offers exceptional skiing for novices and pros alike, in a stunning mountain environment. The array of restaurants includes the architectural masterpiece Björk – Top Restaurant & Mountain Bar.
Kittelfjäll
“La Grave of the Nordic” is one of the descriptions of this off-piste paradise located in the Swedish mountains. A small ski resort with steep peaks, a genuine atmosphere, and renowned off-piste slopes. Warm your feet and dine exquisitely and cozily at Kittelfjäll Värdshus, according to Vagabond Magazine, one of Swedens top 7 restaurants in ski resorts.
