About the accommodation

Experience the magic of the Jämtland mountains at Ottsjö Wärdshus, a personal and welcoming bed and breakfast. Perched on a mountain slope with outstanding views of Lake Ottsjön and the southern Åre mountains, this charming retreat offers peaceful silence and direct access to ski trails and hiking routes.

View details

Whether you’re planning to hike, go nordic ski touring, or simply to unwind with a sauna and mountain views, Ottsjö Wärdshus is the perfect base. With direct access to trails and cross-country tracks, you are close to nature – with comforts like a sauna, gym, and delicious breakfast. 

Ottsjö is a vibrant mountain village and one of the most scenic spots in Jämtland. On the slopes down toward the lake, you’ll see grazing mountain cows and goats – and the village is alive with activity year-round. Guests are warmly welcomed into the local community. Bake traditional flatbread at the heritage centre, enjoy music festivals or take part in skiing and running events. Every year, Ottsjö hosts Fjällmaratonveckan – a full week of competitions attracting sports enthusiasts and curious visitors alike. 

In this 1930s house, you’ll be welcomed by a calm and cozy atmosphere. Nature inspires every detail – from the interior colors to the food and the activities. Sustainability is at the heart of the experience, protecting both Ottsjö’s environment and the life of the village. 

Rooms at Ottsjö Wärdshus are simple yet comfortable. You’ll have your own bathroom or one nearby. Robes and slippers are provided, and in the cozy basement you’ll find a sauna, lounge, and games room – perfect for unwinding with friends or family. 

Curl up by the open fire in one of the generous sofas while waiting for dinner in the dining room – or use the guest kitchen to prepare your own meal or heat up something prepared by the house chef. 

Yoga classes are also offered – stretch your body and get ready for your next mountain adventure.

    Tips for hiking

    Hiking trails in Sweden

    The amazing thing about hiking in Sweden is that there is always more to discover. You can hike on remote mountain peaks, along rugged coastlines, beside bright yellow rapeseed fields, or near major cities.
