Depending on the route chosen, the tour is between 85 and 105 km long. The tour also requires about 16 land crossings, many of which are 2 km or more with the longest transport needed being 4-9 km depending on water levels. A canoe wagon is included in the price to help with the portages.

Northern Värmland is a fascinating and diverse area, with ancient logging routes, narrow networks of lakes and rivers and enchanting woodland meres. The flora and fauna of Värmland is a cross-section of Swedish species. This is where the north and the south of Sweden meet along the plant geographic boundary of Norrland, which is also the northern limit of the oak.

Northern Värmland and the Norwegian borderland is a region that is perfect for lovers of nature and wildlife.
