Discover Sörgården: Carriage rides and farm shop

Sörgården combines farm production with carriage rides and a farm shop. It is located 13 kilometres south of Kristinehamn, providing a clear geographical reference point for planning your trip. For a stay, you can consider both what the farm has to offer and the village of Vike and its surroundings. If you are looking for holiday accommodation, you can first decide whether Sörgården itself or a visit to Vike will be the focus of your trip.

Carriage rides and seasonal experiences

The carriage rides have different destinations: one travels through the undivided, protected part of the village of Vike, while another heads towards the forest. You can therefore choose between an outing focused on the village and a ride towards the forest. Vike was exempt from earlier land consolidation measures; this historical context gives the village a distinct character. The operator asks guests to book in advance, so you should confirm availability before travelling. In winter, Sörgården may also offer sleigh rides when conditions are suitable. This seasonal option depends on suitable snow conditions; check the snow and availability before planning your trip around it. Sörgården also rents out a shooting simulator for gatherings and target practice. Advance confirmation is advisable for this as well.

Farm shop and produce

The farm shop complements the rides with an agricultural and culinary focus. Sörgården's own animals and cultivated land are KRAV-certified and organic. The shop offers meat and sausages from its own sheep and lambs, as well as eggs from its own chickens. The origin of these foods is therefore clearly specified; the farm shop also sells wild boar meat and sheepskins. Product availability may vary by season. If a particular item is important to you, check what is available in advance.

Vike with a cycle route and market

Vike offers another reason to visit besides the carriage ride. During the Vike Bondemarknad, the village becomes a large marketplace for locally produced food, plants and handicrafts; there are also flea markets. If you want to plan your trip around the Bondemarknad, check the event dates separately. Nearby, the Vänerleden cycle route offers an opportunity to make a detour to Vike. This is another way to include the village in your trip compared with taking a carriage ride through the protected part of the village: the cycle route offers a detour by bike, while the carriage travels through the designated area. The market is an event tied to specific dates, whereas the cycle route offers a detour by bike.

When choosing, consider not only whether you prefer the village or the forest as your destination, but also the season: carriage rides should be booked in advance, while sleigh rides are only possible in winter and when conditions are suitable. Coordinate your preferred outing with your travel dates.
