Experience Karlstad from the water between 9 June-31 August 2025
From 9 June you can take one of the beautiful boat buses to various places in Karlstad and Hammarö. The boat trip costs no more than a bus ticket and you book and pay for it in Värmlandstrafik's app or directly at the boat. All buses depart from the Inner Harbour.
Right now there is low water in the Klarälven river which forces the boat bus line 92 to have a flexible itinerary
Right now, the water level in the Klarälven is unusually low. Therefore, we may need to adjust the route of line 92 from day to day. This may mean that the boat runs a different route than planned. Regardless, we offer a nice guided tour on the Klarälven through Karlstad all summer! Keep track of your particular boat trip at varmlandstrafik.se/trafiklaget. Do you have questions or want to rebook? Call our customer centre on 0771-32 32 00.
Please buy your ticket in advance
In the Värmlandstrafik app you can buy single tickets, day tickets and season tickets and pay by Swish or bank card (please note that this does not guarantee a seat on board). The ticket must be activated upon boarding. On board the boat you can pay by traveller's cheque or bank card.
Please note that you need to pre-purchase a ticket for line 92. It is the so-called Cityturen where passengers are guided through the boat's speakers.
In Värmlandstrafik's app, you can also see current timetables, live times and disruption information. The app is free, search for Värmlandstrafik in Google Play or App Store.
Pre-purchase at Båtbussarna
In the booking system, you pay for your journey with a payment card - VISA/Mastercard/Maestro. You can pre-purchase your ticket via this link: https://batbuss.varmlandstrafik.se/
Inner harbour
Once again this year, the Inner Harbour boat bus stop in Karlstad is the hub for all boat bus traffic. From there, the boats take you to summer gems and stops along the Klarälven and Vänern archipelago.
