Klövsjö: Ski Resort, Sámi Hut Culture and Nature

Klövsjö combines winter sports with an unusually rich cultural landscape. In the connected ski area of Klövsjöfjäll and Storhogna, you will find slopes for all levels of ability. At the same time, the church, Sámi huts and historic farmsteads tell the story of a long rural tradition. Those looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Klövsjö can therefore decide in advance what they want to focus on: active days in the snow, paths through the landscape, water-based experiences or cultural discoveries.

Skiing and active days in nature

The Klövsjö ski area has 14 lifts and 21 runs. A specific landmark for families is the meeting point of the SkiStar ski school: it is located in the children's area at the top of the conveyor belt. From the Klövsjö ski area, the Vemdalsskalet and Björnrike ski areas can also be reached within 20 minutes. The same ski pass is valid for these areas at no extra cost. This makes it possible to vary your stay without limiting your travel plans to just one winter sports area.

Even beyond the ski slopes, Klövsjö offers various ways to plan your day. Around the village, there are roads, paths and trails of varying difficulty for short walks or longer hikes. The Fäbodturen trail begins at Klövsjöfjäll Hotel and follows the cross-country ski trail; some sections have wooden boardwalks. For a view of a distinctive natural landmark, consider Fettjeåfallet waterfall, which is more than 60 metres high.

Cycling, water and other excursions

A family-friendly cycling route starts at the tourist information office in Klövsjö and ends in the village after 18 kilometres. It combines nature experiences with local excursion destinations. In and around Klövsjö, there are also cycling and running routes through cross-country terrain on small gravel roads and paths. Updated cycling maps are available, and bicycles can be rented. This information helps you choose your own daily itinerary without presupposing a particular accommodation location.

Perch, pike and vendace are the main catches in Lake Klövsjön. Boats and canoes can be rented both at Lake Klövsjön and at Lake Svartåstjärnen. The bathing area in Klövsjö is close to the village and can be reached by car, bicycle or on foot. Those looking for a sporting alternative will also find a golf course in Klövsjö with 18 holes in hilly terrain.

Discover Sámi hut culture and history

Klövsjö village and its Sámi huts are a nationally significant cultural environment in the municipality of Berg. The cultural environment includes the village and its associated Sámi huts; several of these summer pastures are still in operation. Around the village, there are about 40 Sámi huts and archaeological cultural landscapes. This combination of living tradition, historical traces and landscape also makes Klövsjö interesting for travellers who do not want to spend their holiday exclusively on sports.

Klövsjö Church stands in a place with a long history: by 1520 at the latest, a wooden chapel stood on the present site. The current church building was constructed between 1795 and 1797 by master builder Pål Persson from Stugun. Particularly striking is the black sheet-metal roof, which is considered unique because only a few such roofs remain in Sweden, especially in Jämtland.

Another cultural attraction is Hembygdsgården Tomtan. Its buildings have a history dating back to the 17th century. The site includes a tourist information office and a children's area with several small huts. There is a café there in summer. The café at Klövsjö bageri also offers a cheese platter featuring the farm's specialities, adding a taste of the region to days spent sightseeing.

Choose accommodation to suit your travel style

When looking for accommodation in Klövsjö, it is worth considering the combination of activities you want. Those planning mainly ski days can base their travel plans around the connected ski area and the additional areas covered by the shared ski pass. For a more varied stay, cycling routes, hiking trails, water activities, golf and cultural attractions can all be given equal consideration when making your choice. A holiday apartment or holiday home in Klövsjö is therefore a starting point for different ideas for each day, without every trip having to follow the same rhythm.
