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
Book before 30th September 2010 for tours in 2011 and your booking will be made at current prices.
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
