But you don’t need to set off on a long trek to experience the magic of nature; around the village, you’ll find plenty of trails for day hikes, fishing lakes, and quiet forests where the only sound is the wind in the mountain birch trees.

As a visitor, you’ll find everything you need for a comfortable and memorable stay:

  • Accommodation options – from mountain cabins and campsites to cozy guesthouses and cottage rentals.
  • A well-stocked local shop – offering groceries and essentials for those who want to cook their own meals or stock up before heading out on the trail.
  • Cafés and eateries – where you can enjoy homemade pastries or a hearty meal after a day of adventure.
  • Mountain services and local guiding – including trail advice, weather updates, and safety tips for exploring the mountains.
  • Fishing and snowmobile permits, as well as seasonal rental of selected outdoor equipment.

No matter the season, Ljungdalen is a place to relax or to explore. In winter, the area offers backcountry skiing, snowmobile trails, and northern lights dancing over snow-covered landscapes. In summer, you’ll find midnight sun, blooming alpine meadows, and sparkling mountain lakes.
