Skinnskatteberg holidays

Surrounded by the rolling hills, serene lakes and dense forests of Sweden’s Bergslagen region, Skinnskatteberg is the perfect base for a peaceful escape and a chance to reconnect with nature. Outdoor lovers will revel in the endless opportunities for adventure in Skinnskatteberg, including hiking, fishing and kayaking. Hike through the undulating hills where you'll be rewarded with stunning views over the surrounding countryside or cast a line in the nearby lakes in search of trout. As night falls, visit the Bergslagen Forest and learn from a local guide about the prints and calls of elk and other creatures, such as lynxes and owls, as you spot them among the trees. Then cosy up for a picnic by the fire with s’mores and mulled wine and listen to the animals calling to each other in the darkness. Spend your evenings in Skinnskatteberg tucking into the region's traditional cuisine, made from locally-sourced ingredients and cooked with the same recipes that have been passed down for generations.
