General presentation
Karlstad
Sun-destination, art and banks of the Vänern open the forest door of Värmland.
The discovery of Karlstad revolves around the Värmland Museum, Sandgrund Lars Lerin and Mariebergsskogen. The stay thus alternates between urban life, shores and lakes, riverscapes and forests, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.
