Introduction
Maria Nordmark
Visit Värmland
Marianne Kristiansen
Hedmark County Council
and enthusiastic people who are happy to show you
unspoiled surroundings and memorable experiences.
After several years
of cooperation across the
Swedish-Norwegian border, we have gathered the best
from both regions in this magazine. We are proud, and
want to tell you about moose safaris in Långberget,
about Naturbyn where you can stay in Gökboet (the
Cuckoo’s Nest) – a suite built among the trees with a
stunning view overlooking a lake. Enjoy the photos of
our amazing spa hotel, Selma Spa+ in Sunne. Imagine a
day’s canoeing on a still lake, the amazing smells from
the kitchen at Skaslien Gjestgiveri, the tranquillity at
Rondanefjället and the speed as you go river rafting
in Trysil. Savour the photos of stunning scenery,
handicraft and cultural environments. Feel your
adventurous spirit awaken at the sight of timber rafts
travelling down the River Klarälven, cross-country
skiing in snow-guaranteed tracks and glass-blowing in
Magnor.
We hope and believe that the words and beautiful
pictures in this magazine will introduce you to some of
the things that Värmland and Hedmark have to offer
and that it will inspire you to visit us. We want to show
you more. Travel on your own, bring your best friend
or your entire family.
Welcome to Scandinavia, Sweden and Norway.
One trip, two countries!
