Canoeing in the wilderness

Canoe package

Canoeing in Värmland is popular for good reason; the region’s nature and landscapes provide unparalleled experiences. During a canoe trip, you might encounter common wildlife like beavers, loons and moose. While bears and wolves also live in the forests, spotting them is rare. Consider bringing a fishing rod along in your canoe for a chance to catch perch, pike, or grayling.
