This is the region for those of you who are seeking quiet, unspoilt nature. Surrounded by marsh and forest, Canoe Tours in Bergslagen runs in a remote area through a series of small lakes and rivers.

Bergslagen is wonderful canoeing country. You will be camping wild each night, planning your days and distance to cover each day as you wish. A fishing licence can be purchased for fishing along parts of the tour.

Depending on your chosen route and duration, the total distance covered for Canoe in Bergslagen is between 85 and 105km. To increase the level of challenge, the total distance can also be extended by the addition of a number of detours into side lake and river systems.

This canoe tour also requires about 10 land crossings, the longest transport needed being 4-9km depending on water levels. A canoe trolley is included as part of your equipment to assist with land transports.

The land transports required and the remote nature of much of the area makes Canoe in Bergslagen the most challenging of our canoeing tours. No previous experience of canoeing is required, but you should be used to and enjoy the outdoor life.

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 ideal for lovers of nature and wildlife.
