Ask us for a selection of activities if a chill morning is not really your cup of tea. We board the coach and depart at lunch time and drive onwards into town. The name of our town is Östersund but to locals the name doesn’t always matter, as we just have one town in the area we just say that we “head into town”.

Get your camera ready because we will meet the king of the forest today, the Swedish Moose! We will get off the bus and walk down to the forest where our Moose friends are waiting for us. There are loads of wild moose in the area but just this moose is actually tame and living on a moose farm.

This fjord has a whole lot to offer! We will help select the best activity for you. A favorite recommendation is to take the guided boat tour that takes you through the beautiful scenery of the 15 km long fjord. The boat also takes passengers close to the waterfalls known as ”The seven sisters”. If you prefer a more personal experience of the fjord then we recommend to book a guided kayak tour. The area also offers fantastic hikes, ranging from easy to more challenging ones. We always hope for nice weather but if that isn’t the case Geiranger is still a place that gives you a view to remember.
