Discover Stugun

Stugun brings together impressive churches, insights into local history and landscapes around the Indalsälven. There are also plenty of ways to go hiking, skiing, fishing and climbing. As you plan your trip, consider which of these discoveries will make your time together special—and choose your holiday rental in Stugun to suit the kind of holiday you have in mind.

River views and traces of the landscape

From Stuguberget, you can enjoy views of the Indalsälven River and the surrounding valleys. The Solsidan location also offers beautiful river views. If you enjoy taking in landscapes and identifying geological formations, Stugun has another point of interest: large, smoothly washed stones and glacial erratics were left behind after meltwater carried away lighter materials such as gravel and sand. Their formation offers a vivid way to understand the landscape, without the need for a lengthy account of geology.

If you enjoy exploring on foot, Stugun turistinfo provides a map of the hiking trails. The Stugubergetleden trail starts and ends at the Hembygdsgården. This gives you a clearly identified starting and ending point to plan around, and the hiking map helps you get an overview of the trails. The view from Stuguberget is another reason to include the landscape in your plans.

Churches and local history

Stuguns gamla kyrka is one of Sweden’s best-preserved 18th-century churches. It is centrally located in the village, near the banks of the Indalsälven. Stuguns nya kyrka offers a different architectural style: this unusual Neo-Gothic brick church has few counterparts in inland Norrland. Those interested in church architecture will find different reasons to look closely at each of the two churches. Their historical significance makes them a cultural point of interest for trip planning; it does not indicate current visiting hours.

Stugun’s local heritage activities take place at the Hembygdsgården. Several 18th-century buildings from Skallsjön, a forestry workers’ village northwest of Borgvattnet, are located there. The Hembygdsgården building itself also tells a story about construction history: local master church builder Pål Pehrsson built it in the late 1750s. The buildings’ origins and the history of the house give families who enjoy learning about a place together several specific points of interest.

Active days to suit your interests

At Jannebacken, a drag lift takes you to the top of the slope. The slope is about 500 metres long and is described as having natural snow. Jannebacken has areas suitable for both beginners and more experienced skiers. If members of your group have different levels of experience, you can take this into account when deciding on a ski day. The approximate length also gives you a practical reference for planning.

On the banks of the river in Stugun, there are fishing jetties adapted for access by people with disabilities. A 80-metre-high rock face offers a variety of climbing routes, secured with bolts or camming devices. Fishing and climbing offer further ways to include your own interests in your trip. When choosing your holiday rental, it may help to first decide whether culture, hiking or an active day should take centre stage.

If you’d like to discover more places beyond Stugun, you can also include Bispgården, Köttsjön and Hammarstrand in your trip plans.
