Family Holidays in Sweden

Summer family holidays in Sweden - relaxation, challenge and adventure for all ages (part 2)

Bushcraft has become increasingly popular in recent years, and a bushcraft holiday makes an excellent family adventure. We also offer two family-friendly bushcraft tours, each bookable as private tours on custom dates by arrangement for groups of minimum 4 persons. Our Family Bushcraft Adventure is aimed at parents with children aged 8 or above (though tours for younger children are also possible by arrangement) while Bushcraft Canoe Tour on Revsund is ideal for older children. In each case, the tour is led by an experienced bushcraft guide and includes instruction in fire making, cooking over open fires, tool-making and identifying animal tracks. An unusual family holiday which will fascinate adults and children of all ages and provides an excellent chance to develop your child's self-confidence and independence and instill a love of the natural world.

Also very popular for an active family holiday in Sweden is our Timber Rafting on Klarälven experience. Timber rafting can be a real family adventure and great way to get the whole family working together - building and piloting your own log raft requires good teamwork, as well as a healthy sense of humour when you have to negotiate your way out of a backwater or off a sandbank! If you have older children, then the physical work involved can be spread amongst all members of your family. For those with younger children, the adults should be prepared to do most of the hard work! If you are a family who is used to and enjoys the outdoors, Timber Rafting on Klarälven may be the perfect family holiday in Sweden for you.

If you like the sound of timber rafting but are unsure whether a multi-day tour is right for your family, then our multi-activity family adventure Beaver Safari and Timber Rafting may be ideal. This experience was listed as one of The Guardian's top family breaks, and combines a guided beaver safari on the River Klarälven with a "light" version of our timber rafting experience. The raft you will build is smaller, easier to construct and lighter to manoeuvre, giving you an excellent chance to try a day tour down the river without the commitment of a multi-day expedition.

Family hiking holidays in Sweden are becoming increasingly popular, and Nature Travels offers two family hiking tours with a twist - in the company of your very own husky pack dog! These dogs pull the sleds on our dog sledding holidays in Sweden during the winter, but in summer are happy to help you carry up to 10kg of your luggage across the beautiful rolling mountains of Jämtland. For dedicated hikers, we have the 7-day Hiking with Dog in the Mountains of Jämtland experience, while for a multi-activity variation on this family holiday adventure, you may also like to take a look at our Hiking with Dog, Whitewater Rafting and Fishing expedition.

Finally, if you are looking for a family log cabin holiday in Sweden, then our Log Cabin Escape in Värmland experience may be just what you are after. The cabins are situated just 75m from the lakeside, and a boat is included with each cabin - perfect for a family adventure day out exploring the surrounding lakes and seeking out the perfect picnic spot! The surrounding forests are also ideal for walking and cycling, and the area is also renowned for its excellent fishing - perfect for some quality "Dad and son" (or "Mum and daughter!") time.

For two families travelling together, the Northern Comfort Lodge is an ideal choice for a log cabin holiday, sleeping up to 8 persons in 4 x 2-person rooms, while the smaller Lynx cabin at the same location is ideal for up to 5 persons.

As you can see, Nature Travels offers a wide choice of active summer family holidays in Sweden. Every family is different, and it is very important to us that you choose just the right kind of summer family holiday in Sweden for you. The "Full Details" files for each of our experiences contain detailed information on the experiences themselves, as well as any requirements, age restrictions, etc, but if you have any questions at all, please contact us and we will be happy to help you decide on the best family-friendly Sweden holiday for you.
