About

Värmland of Scandinavia is a collaboration between Karlstad Airport, Region Värmland, The European Union and a generous amount of private companies related to the tourism industry in Värmland (hotels, tour-, adventure-, activity-, fishing- and hunting-companies, etc.).

Our purpose is to establish a stronger connection between Great Britain and Värmland, Sweden, due to a growing demand from a British target audience looking for great outdoors experiences and Scandinavian hospitality.

Värmland of Scandinavia is the first major investment specifically towards this audience. Some of our sub targets are to strengthen the airline connections between Karlstad and London, to produce tourism information and to package specific offers, including air travel, during British bank holidays.

Wilderness

The meeting between mankind and wilderness is a constant source of inspiration for us all. Even though we have the comforts of modern society, most of us only have to step outside to find ourselves in the story books. Set up camp miles away from electric lights and watch the moon and the stars as they were intended to be observed.

 

No matter where you go in Värmland you’ll never be far from new experiences. Our wilderness is not reserved for fishers and hunters. Through the Swedish right of public access, almost everything is available to anyone – just as long as you show your surroundings the proper respect.

The Giants

Beware of the natural enemy of the gods from Norse mythology.

FootprintThe Giants are nature spirits, standing twice as tall as full grown men and possessing super human strength. Said to eat humans, you’d better run if you find yourself standing eye to eye with a Giant astray from his darker world. Not that it will do you much good.
