Our nature invites you to both relaxation and adventure. Årjäng is located in the scenic and lake-rich southwestern Värmland, easily accessible along E 18 between Karlstad and Oslo. Just 3 hours from Gothenburg you will find not only wild and beautiful nature but also a large selection of nature activities such as hiking, canoeing, cycling, horse riding and golf. Have fun, enjoy, socialize, rest and feel good!

Nature where it’s at its best

In Årjäng lies about half of the beautiful Dalsland Canal and its wide-ranging lake system. Here are picturesque lock environments (with biiiiig ice cream cones) and one of Europe’s best paddle waters, perfect for kayaking with friends or canoe excursions with the whole family. 

Glaskogen Nature Reserve is another of our top-class natural areas. In addition to many canoe trails, there are over 300 kilometers of hiking trails in varied and species-rich nature. A day trip with barbecue or a challenging multi-day hike – you choose! There is no risk of crowds in the forest, the reserve is 28,000 hectares! Here you are guaranteed to find quiet places for fishing or swimming.

Sleep well and enjoy

Holidays should offer a change and adventure but when it comes to accommodation, the feeling should be a bit like home. You want to sleep well, wake up refreshed and feel well cared for. Our properties care for you as a guest whether you choose glamping, a cozy cottage, a guest house or hotel or stay at our five-star campsite, which has been named Sweden’s best for families with children. We’ll make sure you’re happy! 

Last but certainly not least!

Don’t forget to visit our largest but also friendliest inhabitant, the eight-metre high troll that stands in Årjäng city centre! The troll, which by the way has a shoe size of 3.5 meters, is the children’s favorite. The best he knows iis beeing surroundet by laughing and playing kids. Many trousers have worn out on the troll’s tail, which is also used as a slide.

Welcome to Årjäng – the wild and beautiful part of western Värmland!
