Winter

For many of our guests, a winter holiday in Sweden culminates in a guided dog sledding tour through the snowscapes of Jämtland. We have been working successfully with a husky farm near Vemdalen for several years already.

The best way to experience the fascination of the howling huskies is during the guidance of a professional musher. He received 100% positive feedback from our guests.

Tours of 2.5 or 4 hours are available. Both tours include a rest including coffee made on open fire or a lunch on the longer tour. All tours currently start from his base camp, an alpine farmstead at Vemdalen, approx. 1h 20 minutes drive from us. The long journey is worth it nevertheless, as reliable providers are hard to find. With this mucher you get reliable logistics, ethical husky husbandry and professional supporting during the tour.

Three adults or two adults with two children can ride on one sled. If there are 2 adults, there will usually be no other other person on the sled. If necessary, two sleds can be used.

Riding the snowmobile is a popular and widespread means of transport and hobby in northern Sweden. When there is enough snow, a wide network of trails is prepared for snowmobiling in many places.

Start your excursion with the snowmobile at Galå Fjällgård, as we have direct access to the public trail network. By snowmobile you can easily cover longer distances and discover the snowscape around the Swedish mountains in a completely different way.

Untouched landscapes

As an alternative to cross-country skiing and ski touring, snowshoe-hiking is getting more and more popular. Many summer hiking trails can be easily explored with snowshoes in winter.

To make your tour to a successful experience, we offer you guided snowshoe hikes as well as snowshoe equipment for rent for your self-organised tours.

The Oviken mountains will provide the active cross-country-skier with plenty of tour possibilities during the long winter season. At Galå Fjällgård as well as in the surrounding area, there are well-prepared ski-trails.

Wether along the marked winter trails in the flat country or in the mountains, skiing in this peaceful winter landscape will easily become a marvellous experience.
