Excursions

Be prepared for a day filled with both full activity and relaxing moments. You will learn the knots and lashings needed to build a safe and stable timber raft. After a few tough hours of work, the raft is ready and you can enjoy the fruit of your labor when you slowly float down the river Klarälven.

Whether it’s been a while since you last went canoeing or you’re a complete beginner, this is the perfect opportunity to experience nature on the waterways of northern Värmland. No prior knowledge is required. We provide you with information about safety and paddling technique on-site. You enjoy the experience – we take care of the practicalities!

On select summer evenings, you can embark on an enjoyable tour by rubber boat or canoe (depending on number of people), along the serene river Klarälven. Immersed in nature, you’ll float peacefully as the sunset casts a warm glow over the landscape. Keep a keen eye out for the busy beaver, they are known to inhabit the banks of the river, and with a bit of luck, you may catch a glimpse of their industrious activities.

In Hole, 16 km northeast of the Vildmarksbyn Eden, lies Värmland’s only moose park. You can see the moose in their natural habitat and at close range. During the guided tour, you will learn a great deal about the “king of the forest”.

Mormors glasscafé (Grandma’s Ice Cream Café) is extremely popular and well worth a visit! It is located by the beach on lake Fryken in Lysvik. A former mission house, it has become a beautiful and cosy place for hot summer days. You can sit outside and enjoy the view of the lake. Right below the café is a bathing area.

Road 62 has become well known for its many flea markets which take place during the summer. Road 62 goes from Karlstad to Trysil in Norway.
