General presentation
Värmland
Lakes, forests and literary heritage form a peaceful region between Vänern and the Norwegian border.
To understand what Värmland is, you must look at Mårbacka, Glaskogen Nature Reserve and Värmland Museum. These places give a view of a territory marked by forests, shores and lakes, the countryside and heritage and allow to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 7 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. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
