The Grövel Lake and the Grövel Lake Mountains are situated in the northern part of Dalarna.
The area is characterized by low mountains and old-growth pine forest and here and there streams and wells break through. The Grövel Lake Mountains are a collective term for the area surrounding the lake which stretches over the border between Sweden and Norway. The highest mountain on the Swedish side is Storvätteshågna at 1,204 m. On the Norwegian side there are a few peaks that reach above 1,200 m. Reachable on a day walk lie Store Svuku and Gröthågna, which are both around 1,400 m.

Come and stay a week in the Grövel Lake mountains. Here you will find an intimate atmosphere and beautiful surroundings. During the evenings you can enjoy tasty dinners in the station's fully licensed restaurant - an extra bonus is its beautiful view over the Norwegian mountains in the west. After a peaceful night's sleep you will head out for a wonderful day in the mountains.
Maybe you will join the station's knowledgeable guides on one of the day tours offered or maybe you'll decide to spend the day exploring the mountains on your own. Perhaps you will end the day with a herbal bath or another treatment offered in the station's spa or choose a massage to soften stiff muscles and replenish your energy.
