We are all suffering from a complete new situation this summer, where we cannot travel, explore destinations and meet each other as we are used to.
Many events are cancelled, sights and museums might have altered opening hours or are closed. We do our utmost to keep the information on our website up to date. For information about a certain event, sight or accommodation we ask you to contact the organizer directly or ask us at the lokal Tourist Information Centre.
Our borders are open for visitors and we welcome you to Värmland, but, however, we like to ask you to inform you about the rules valid in Sweden before your visit.
