A natural wonderland, Västerbotten Sweden stretches across the Gulf of Bothnia’s east coast, all the way to the Norwegian border in the west; the county’s northern section, from Sorsele and Skellefteå, forms part of Swedish Lapland.

The wild nature found throughout this county incorporates coastline, lakes, mountains, valleys and deep forests. You'll be able to take it all in a variety of ways year-round.

Hop on your bike, get on horseback or opt for a spot of hiking or skiing – or glide across the water in a kayak.
