Travel Guide Åmot

Nestled in the heart of exceptional natural surroundings, this picturesque village is located in the heart of Sweden's Värmland region. Surrounded by forests, lakes and mountains, it offers a haven of peace away from the hustle and bustle of the big cities. Just a few hours' drive from Stockholm, it offers easy access to three regions (Dalarna, Hälsingland and Gästrikland).This is where the "real" North begins, where Swedish life is no longer dictated by the big cities, and where traditions flourish. In fact, many traces of the past can still be found in this region. Founded probably in the 16th century, in its early days it consisted of just a farm and a few huts. The locals, aware of the value of their heritage, are committed to preserving and enhancing it, helping to maintain the area's authenticity and charm.The activities on offer are tried and tested, but far from worn out by a flood of tourists, so that when you travel around Åmot, everything is so authentic that you feel like the first visitor to discover its hidden wonders. "Åmot"(å for water and mot for meeting) is simply the place where two rivers meet.
