Childrens activities
Do you dream of exciting voyages of discovery, mischief and plenty of time together? The mountains are a perfect place for children!
Here there is endless space to romp around and so much to discover, both in summer and winter. Perhaps the simplest adventures will become the most memorable, like drinking water straight from the stream, making an obstacle course out of fallen trees in the forest or cooking over an open fire. Take the children on small expeditions through forests and fields, or choose a family package where you discover nature together with a guide in a safe and fun way.
Adventure tips for children
- During summer, the trolls on Trollstigen and the giant Jacob’s friends gather along a loop of just over 1 kilometre. There is always a new creature to find in the forest. Bring some fika and take a break with Agatha the witch, and she will be delighted!
- Dare to test your balance in the trolls’ very own park? Walk the tightrope, stand on one leg and hop between the tree stumps. Find a friend and take a ride on the seesaw! (available during the summer season)
- Challenge your friends in the ski playground at Back-Filippa’s ski park.
- Challenge yourself and develop your skiing skills with the Swedish Ski Association’s ski badges. At the reception we can tell you more about the criteria. You complete the activities at your own pace, and an adult confirms that you have completed the required activities. The badges can then be purchased at the reception.
- Take a break and grill something tasty at one of our barbecue areas. Firewood and charcoal are available to buy in the shop.
- Borrow a sledge or a kicksled and go for a ride.
- Take a trip to the Olån wind shelter! You will find the wind shelter roughly halfway along a popular loop up towards the Norwegian border. Bring firewood so you can grill at the lovely rest area. In summer you also pass the beautiful Silverfallet waterfall, where you can take a dip!
- Walk the varied Nature Trail, which over 4 kilometres takes you through denser mountain forest and up onto the bare mountain plateau.
- Take a boat trip across to the Norwegian side of Lake Grövelsjön on the M/S Sylöra, which operates daily on the lake during most of the summer season. Choose to explore the Norwegian side and then take the boat back, or hike 9 kilometres back instead, partly along the path Linnaeus travelled when he passed through the area back in the 18th century.
- Nearby Jakobshöjden offers wonderful views across the neighbouring country to the west. Hike from the mountain station all the way to the summit and back (7 kilometres), or go part of the way – even further down on the bare mountain you can see a little way into Norway.
- Try one of our digital quiz walks. You will find the link to the quiz walk on our notice board or at the trailhead.
Indoors there is a table tennis table for anyone who wants to challenge someone to a match or a game of round-the-table ping pong. You can also borrow board games or pick a book in one of our lounges, or simply relax in front of the fire.
