Canoeing or rafting the Klarälven gives you an excellent chance of seeing beavers. But this has not always been the case. The beaver became extinct in Sweden in the late 19th century and was only reintroduced in 1922. Since then they have flourished in this area and Värmland now has an estimated population of several thousand. See Wildlife Guide
There will be a special scheduled tour for Canoe on Klarälven during the Summer Half Term week at the end of May bookable at standard per person prices (tours at this time normally have a minimum charge of the cost for 4 adults).
The tour will be 7 days/6 nights starting Sunday 30th May ending Saturday 5th June, route and prices as for standard 7-day experience.
A family holiday in Sweden with a difference! The Klarälven runs the length of Värmland, from north to south. Its serpentine meanderings make it a major feature of the Värmland landscape. Its waters flow gently and the landscape ranges from steep valleys to flat, cultivated land.
This is an ideal canoe tour for the whole family where you paddle on your own, camping wild along the way. Swimming ability required by all, children under 16 to be accompanied by an adult.
The Klarälven canoeing tour takes you through a beautiful rural area of forests, small villages and farmland, giving you the opportunity to stop for provisions and explore the surrounding countryside along the route.

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.
We also offer a timber-rafting experience on the Klarälven river: see Timber Rafting on Klarälven

Comments on Canoe Tours on Klarälven:
"Bob was very helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you for the excellent customer service." Nicola, August 2009
"What a fabulous holiday we have had. Thank you so much for all your help in the planning and booking stages. I thought I would let you know that every person I spoke to who had booked through you only had good things to say about you and your company. I think we saw a beaver in the first 30 mins, which was fantastic, either that or it was a very fast swimming log...Thanks again for everything. I have and will be recommending your company to all I meet.
"We had a fantastic time. It was just amazing, having to slow down to a more livable pace, being surrounded by nature, we only had one night of rain, all the days were dry. The last day was glorious sunshine, which just made the experience. If I were to do it again, I would take a more detailed map as we where unable to find the waterfall, which was a shame. And lots of DEET! I am in love with Sweden and their respect of the nature that surrounds them. Would love to go again around midsummer." Emma, August 2009
"I thought the level of service provided by Nature Travels was excellent." Roy, July 2009
"Yours was by far the most friendly, helpful service I have ever experienced, Bob went out of his way to assist us with every query...Despite the weather this was one of the best holidays I have ever had. My partner and I really felt as if we had got away from it all - the countryside was beautiful, and so incredibly unspoilt and we didn't think about work all week - a wonderful, wonderful experience I would recommend to anyone who likes an active holiday in the outdoors." Laura, July 2009
