Värmlandsgården

In the heart of Sweden, surrounded by endless forests and shimmering lakes, lies Värmlandsgården.

Värmlandsgården is the perfect starting point for canoeing adventures, hiking trails, and unique overnight stays immersed in nature. This is where you leave the stress of everyday life behind and discover a place where tranquillity, simplicity, and adventure go hand in hand.

Paddle across vast lakes, sometimes pulling your canoe on a trolley overland to reach the next stretch of water – a journey through the wilderness at your own pace. Along the way, pitch your tent on idyllic islands or remote beaches and end the day beside a crackling campfire. This is Slow Travel in its purest form.

Canoe trips range from 1 to 10 days. Before setting off, you’ll receive a thorough introduction to the equipment, paddling techniques, safety, and the Swedish Right of Public Access – then it’s just you and nature.

“At Värmlandsgården, we value small-scale experiences and respect for our surroundings. Our accommodation – from completely off-grid cabins and glamping tents on floating rafts, to campsites and simple cottages – offers everything you need to truly unwind, without unnecessary luxury.”

All activities are nature-friendly, small-scale, and focused on authentic experience and presence – with yourself, with each other, and with nature.

There are various types of accommodation to choose from – camping, glamping, or cottages. You can also camp in a tent on a nearby island.

Whether you’re looking to be active, disconnect from daily life, or simply enjoy the peace and quiet, Värmlandsgården offers a genuine outdoor experience with care for both people and the planet.
