A fun experience combining unusual nature activities with accommodation in cabins by the banks of the Klarälven

Multi-activity holidays in Sweden: Klarälven

Explore the gently flowing waters of the longest river in Sweden on this multi-activity water adventure suitable for the whole family. You will stay in small simple cabins at a campsite and combine this with a timber rafting day tour and a guided beaver safari. You can also rent a canoe for a day, try fishing in the local lakes and streams or book a wood-heated sauna at the shore.

In the evening of your first day you will go on a beaver safari and learn all about the life of the beaver. You make coffee and grill something to eat over an open fire and hear tales of beaver. When the dusk arrives you will silently glide though the water scanning the river for beaver. If you are quiet you have very good chances of spotting one. There are now thought to be more than 100,000 beavers in Sweden as a whole, and the Klarälven is one of the best places in Sweden to see these fascinating and industrious animals.

The river is an excellent area to spot beaver, but of course we can not guarantee sightings. We promise however that you will have an unforgettable experience as the dusk falls over Klarälven!

Floating peacefully down river Huck Finn style on a timber raft is surely the stuff of childhood dreams. On day three you will get a chance to try our popular timber rafting experience, building a raft from nothing but logs and ropes and piloting it down the river for a day.

Beaver Safari and Timber Rafting is an ideal family experience, combining the challenge and adventure of a day's timber rafting with a chance to learn more about one of Sweden's most interesting mammals.
