Cozy mountain cottage at the lake in Frostviken

If you would like to spend a week in Frostviken, please do not hesitate to book our cottage. Take time to book our cottage.

Here you can get relaxation, and come down from your stress. If you
daring to enjoy the silence, then you have come to the right place, namely Frostviken who located in Strömsunds municipality. At this place called Spännviken, and the nearest community, Gäddede. Our cottage, is situated between two lakes Hetögeln and Gussvattnet, and is surrounded by mountains.

Think that you sit on the terrace, at our cottage in Spännviken in the summer and looks out over the water and the mountains. When the sun lights up at night and it is bright around the clock during the summer months. Listen carefully, suddenly you will hear the char in the water, and you walk down to the boat with a fishing rod in your hand.

Borrow our boat, so you can row out to the middle of the lake and find the fish. You can also choose to row out to the island “Holmen” to fish, swim or sunbathe why not grill in the prepared barbecue area there. You can collect fire wood from our cottage. But there are many other waters around our surroundings.

A great novelty of this year, 2016, is them who are interested in fishing. A common fishing license has been developed through a partnership between ten local fishing areas and three card fishing areas within SCA. The card is called Frostvikskortet and covers 140 km and 124 fishing waters in Frostviken. Most of the lakes, ponds and streams, which are in Frostviken, (also lake Hetögeln) is included in Frostvikskortet.

But in the summer there are also many other activities which you can find when you stay at our place, in addition to fishing. You can, for example, go to the central place Gäddede and visiting Frostvikens hembygdsgård which is a museum with over 3000 objects. There is also a nature room at the Tourist Office and at the campsite, there is an outdoor bathingarea. It is also possible to rent more canoes at the campsite. Here in Frostviken we have some of Swedens longest canoe trails.

Another activities is the 43 m high Hällingsåfallet, which is Europes longest water- filled canyon (800 m). Here are some prepared barbecue sites and shelters, located only about 200 m from the parking area. Hällingsåfallet is located about 25 km from Gäddede.

Or why not go on a guided tour of Swedens longest limestone cave, by making an underground safari, in Ankarvattnet. This place is located about 55 km from Gäddede. If you rather prefer to hike above the surface, there are many beautiful trails for both 1 day and multi day tours to choose from in Frostviksfjällen.

Finally, I would say that perhaps you would rather prefer to hunt in Europes last wilderness in the autumn. Then you can buy a hunting licens at the Tourist Office in Gäddede for to hunt small wild animals. Sneak out into the forrests with the rifle to maybe shoot a grouse or capercaillie. Then you can smoke meat in our fish and
meat smoke.
