Stromsund is located in the Swedish province of Jamtland, nearly 200 miles west of Umea. The mountainous area is unique with its blue hills, soft marshlands, deep blue fishing lakes, roaring waterfalls and dense forests. During a weekend to Stromsund you can relax in Sweden's awe-inspiring nature. The hiking and fishing experiences, most notably in Lake Flasjon, are unforgettable - but there are several other activities to enjoy here.
Exhibitions at Galleri Katten are very popular and near Strom Vattudal, the heritage site Stromsunds Hembygdsgard is well worth a visit. Travel to Stromsund in July if you want to visit the yearly Dunder Market, where great musical acts perform, carousels spin and delicious Swedish sweets are sold.
75 miles from Stromsund you will find the Hallingsafallet, Sweden's longest canyon with a stream that crashes down from a cliff as a 130 feet waterfall. Walk along to Lake Ankarvattnet and visit the incredible cave Korallgrottan, which was only discovered in 1985. Visit the nearby nature reserve Bjuralven, where the small carnivorous plants are bound to impress if you are travelling with children. Bjuralven River disappears into the ground and reappears further along, an underground rampage which has created the distinctive appearance of the area.
If you take a weekend trip to Stromsund in winter there are several exciting activities here for you. The district is known for its extensive snow scooter trails, but even if you are not a fan of scooters you will enjoy Swedish winter. Glide across the snowfield behind a team of Alaskan huskies, or go cross-country skiing at your own pace at Stromsund Skidstugan, Hoting and Fyrabadet.
The easiest way to get here is by travelling by plane to Are Ostersund Airport, which is 1.5 hours away by car. From Ostersund City you can jump on a local bus to Stromsund Bus Station. If you are driving you can get to Stromsund on motorway E45.
As you can tell, a weekend package to Stromsund offers unforgettable adventures in the Swedish wilderness. You will experience a welcome respite from everyday life in Jamtland, come rain or shine.
