Värmland

Experience nature and tranquillity

Värmland

Is often called Sweden in miniature

Värmland blir ofta kallat Sverige i miniatyr och på många sätt stämmer det verkligen. Med en befolkningstäthet på bara 17 personer per kvadratkilometer, jämfört med Nederländernas och Englands 395 personer per kvadratkilometer, är Värmland en jämförelsevis tyst och lugn plats att vistas i.

Värmland erbjudet storslagen natur, stora områden med skog och älvar som slingrar sig genom bergen och låglandet. Regionen är hem för många sorters fåglar och djur. Bl.a. bäver, älg, björn, varg och lodjur. Även den sällsynta järven har de senaste åren varit synlig vid några tillfällen i skogen kring Ekshärad.

Kommer du vid rätt tidpunkt på året finns massor av svamp, lingon, björnbär och hjortron för att nämna några.

Klarälvdalen

The Clear River Valley

Klarälvdalen erbjuder er många möjligheter att njuta ännu mer av vistelsen här. Vi kan ordna fiskekort till Klarälven och flera andra fina fiskeställen i området.

Visste du att det just nu pågår ett projekt, för att återinföra laxen till Klarälven? Ett ganska stort antal laxar sattes ut i Klarälven under sommaren 2011. 54 stycken placerades ut vid Byns strand.

De lugna lokala vägarna och stigarna går utmärkt att utforska med hjälp av cykel. Varför inte göra en dagstur till Älg-parken med bil eller cykel? Där kan du få närkontakt med Skogens Konung.

Vill ni åka längdskidor på sommaren? Torsby Ski-tunnel kan erbjuda er just det! Omkring 2 km inomhusspår, som även används av många nationella klubbar.

Vill du ta en simtur på en varm dag? Självklart kan du ta ett morgondopp vid Byns strand, besöka poolen i Hagfors eller köra till soliga Sunne där du kan spendera en dag med att njuta av Vattenlandet.

Vill du se och lära dig mer av den lokala naturen? Då kan en viltsafari med en lokal guide ge dig chansen att lära dig mer, och med lite tur, se en älg i dess naturliga miljö.

Vill du se Klarälven ur ett fågelperspektiv? Normalt kan vi erbjuda helikopterturer, några gånger varje sommar.

Hiking and Walking

Halgå Trail, Brattfallet

There are some excellent hiking trails around Byns Camping including Brattfallet.

This is a much loved area within the Klarälvdalen region.
It is has a beautiful waterfall and picnic areas close by.

The scenery is varied with mixed forest areas and old growth forests along the Vångan.
The Hålga Trail is one we recommend, it is varied and can be challenging even for advanced hikers at certain times of the year.

However, Brattfallet has something for everyone and is somewhere all our guests should go for a day.

Swimming in the lakes and rivers of Värmland is a must.

There are chances to stop and take a swim at almost every lake and river in the whole of Sweden.

The lakes of Värmland area so pure that is is actually possible to drink the water straight from the lake.
You can of course take your morning dip from the beach at Byns Camping, or you can drive to Sunne’s Water Park ‘Vattenlandet’ and spend a day enjoying the facilities there.
