Bydalen

Bydalen combines impressive mountain landscapes with a gorge, hiking trails, water-based activities and winter sports. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Bydalen can plan their trip around their preferred experiences: a hike to Dromskåran, days at the ski resort or peaceful hours by the water. A cycling tour and special historical sites are also among the options that shape the character of the destination.

Dromskåran and Drommen: distinctive landscapes

Near Bydalen, Dromskåran lies on the western side of Drommen. The gorge is a dramatic glacial river gorge of the saddle gorge type. It is almost one kilometre long, 50 metres deep and 150 metres wide. This creates a landscape that cannot be fully appreciated from a single perspective: Dromskåran can be experienced on a circular hike from above and from inside the gorge.

The summit of Drommen is 1,140 metres above sea level and is approximately three kilometres from the summit of Dromskåran. These figures help you distinguish between the two distinctive points when planning your own day. Those who enjoy alternating between views and a closer experience of the landscape can consciously include the gorge’s different perspectives in their travel plans.

Hiking, cycling and a historic resting place

For a hike to Västfjället, the car park in Fjällhalsen is one possible starting point. There are clearly marked hiking trails on Västfjället. A cycling loop of approximately twelve kilometres can be reached from Bydalen or Gräftåvallen. This allows you to take different ideas for your days into account when choosing accommodation, without limiting the trip to a single activity.

Another special place is Stenhyddan. It was built in 1896 as a resting hut for visitors to the mountains at that time. Its historical purpose makes it an interesting destination for travellers who want to spend their days not exclusively on sports, but also gaining an insight into the former use of the mountain landscape.

Winter days at the ski resort and courses for different levels

The Bydalen–Höglekardalen ski resort, also known as Bydalsfjällen, has 42 runs. The Bydalen ski resort offers ski courses for different levels, either privately or in groups. If you are looking for a holiday apartment for a winter stay, this information can help you decide whether your trip should focus on downhill runs and lessons or whether you would also like to plan time for the landscape and other activities.

Lake Dalsjön, the Dammån and the rules for trout fishing

Lake Dalsjön is an extension of the Dammån. Visitors can rent a boat and paddle on Lake Dalsjön. When trout fishing in the Dammån, the minimum size is 45 centimetres; one fish may be kept per day and fishing licence. Those choosing accommodation for a trip with varied interests can combine these options in their plans with hiking, cycling or winter sports. You should take the specific fishing regulations into account when planning your trip.

If you would like to compare other places in addition to Bydalen, you can find Handöl, Mörsil, Hallen, Huså, Vålådalen, Undersåker, Ottsjö and Ånn here. When searching for a suitable holiday apartment in Bydalen, the first important consideration is which of these types of landscapes and experiences should shape your trip.
