Summer in Jämtland Härjedalen – Adventures Under the Midnight Sun

As the long, bright nights of summer take hold, Jämtland Härjedalen transforms into a paradise for both bon vivants and adventurers. Hike across vast mountain plateaus, cycle along winding trails, or cast your line into mirror-like lakes under a sun that barely sets. But summer here is more than just grand nature; it’s a time when the landscape comes alive with music events, local flea markets, and a vibrant cultural scene.

Explore the region’s rich history at our museums and visit passionate food artisans offering flavors straight from nature’s pantry. Settle in at a charming mountain café or enjoy world-class dining at one of the acclaimed restaurants across our destinations. The best way to experience it all is on a road trip – let the roads lead you between sparkling waterfalls and picturesque villages. Welcome to write your own summer story in the land of the light summer nights.
