Things to do

An increasing number of people choose to go alpine ski touring, or randonnée skiing, in the Swedish mountains.

Downhill skiing in the mountains is by far the most popular activity in terms of the number of practitioners.

The waters where fishing is permitted offer fishing based on naturally produced stocks, mainly of salmon trout, char and grayling.

Hunting in the mountains demands completely different preparations than the same hunting in forests.

Growing numbers of mountain visitors are choosing to bike and there are prepared bike paths and trails in several places.

A few days hiking in a magnificent free mountain landscape is among many people’s holiday favourites.

Mountain paddling both by kayak or canoe is a wonderful experience, but can entail unpleasant surprises if one is not properly prepared.
