Are you looking for unique, secluded and eco-friendly holiday accommodation? At Dalslands Aktiviteter you can stay in architect designed glass cabins set in the Dalsland’s stunning natural surroundings. The cabins are on a promontory with a spectacular view of Lake Iväg. Sitting on your bed, it’s easy to dream the days away, and as the light fades you can listen to the sounds of nature.

Some of the things that make the accommodation climate smart:

• Local collaboration. Bedclothes are washed at the nearby Rikstvätt Bengtsfors laundry for instance, which washes with low energy and low water use, eco-friendly chemicals and uses fossil fuel free transport.
• We make it easy for guests to make smart choices and minimise the use of single use articles.
• The activities on offer have almost no climate impact.

The best time to visit Dalslands Aktiviteter is April to October.

When you stay at Dalslands Aktiviteter the nearest experiences are never far away. Here you can, among other things:

Hike and make food outdoors

• Have an enjoyable walk along the Stenebyleden trail or one of the other nearby walking trails.  
• Make food over an open fire or learn more about Bushcraft.

Paddle and fish

• Paddle kayaks in the Steneby river where it feels a bit like the lush Amazon jungle.  
• Hire a SUP (Stand Up Paddleboard) and glide over the mirror-like lake.
• Test your fishing luck, either from a shoreside rock, the rowing boat or a special fishing kayak.

Moose, riding and gold panning

• Pet the king of the forest in the centre’s moose park .
• Anyone wanting to go riding can choose from several different tours depending on how much you have ridden before.
• Learn how to pan for gold.

Relax

• Enjoy the peace of nature from your bedside in the glass cabin.

The food served at Dalslands Aktiviteter takes its inspiration from the forest and lake’s natural pantry. Everything is prepared as far as possible from locally produced ingredients. The centre has, among other things, its own game production with a shop selling elk, deer, wild boar and mouflon meat.

This is where the food served comes from:

• Breakfast bread is baked at Dalslands Aktiviteter.
• The potatoes are grown in Värmlandsnäs, a peninsula in Lake Vänern.
• The eggs come from Torggummans Ägg, a family run business in south Dalsland.

Dalslands Aktiviteter is approximately half way between Gothenburg and Oslo. It’s easy to get here with low carbon emissions.
