Where you’ll be

Särna, Dalarna County, Sweden

6 km to Fjätervålens ski resort, with 18 slopes for beginners and advanced skiers. One of them approved by FIS for slalom, giant slalom and ladies' super G.
Vertical drop: 317 m
Longest run: 3,000 m
Groomed riding surface approximately 400,000 sq.m.

20 km to Idre Fjälls ski resort.
40 slopes (whereof 16 green and 9 black)
Vertical drop: 307 m
Longest run: 2,800 m

Be prepared for wilderness. During summer the rippling creek is often the only thing you hear around the house. In winter the creek freezes and the only thing you hear is your own heartbeat.

Städjan, the highest mountain of Dalecarlia, can be ascended both summer and winter (great off pist skiing for the brave).

Nipfjället is ascended from its parking lot and from the lake Stenåssjön (Harundsjön), which is a day's walk.

A lot of small lakes and rivers for fishing. Fishing card required. 500 m to the nearest fishing waters.

In Idre there is a great golf course, rated one of Sweden's most beautiful, with a really high tee, brooks, and a kåsa (a cup) hanging by the brook for your waterbrake.

Njupeskär is Sweden's highest waterfall and a highly favored outing target for children as well as adults. It requires a 1 hour car trip, but then you get a 90 m waterfall, a great wild life exhibition, a nice small restaurant and a close by elk park.

Pick your own berries in the deep forests. The local speciality are cloud berries are ready in late August. You haven't seen them this big before. Our uncle Sören finds and picks around 30 litres a year. Really.

Fjätfallet is a small waterfall closer in the woods with a possibility, for the brave and warm-blooded,
to floomride. Glide over the moss in the rapids. Be careful and have fun.

Stenåssjön is a close by lake with a beach of sand, yes it true, a beatiful view over Nipfjället. Warm summer days you can take a bath while watching the snow on Nipfjället.
