Burträsk

Burträsk combines a lake, vibrant culture and diverse opportunities for eventful days on holiday. The town is located on Lake Burträsket and thus offers a special setting for travellers who want to combine experiences in nature with events, activities and regional discoveries. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment or holiday home in Burträsk can tailor their travel plans to their own interests: be active by the water, explore a historic trail or experience music, dancing and local crafts.

Lake, Sandy Beach and Activities

A defining location for your stay is Burträsk Långnäsbadet. It has a sandy beach more than 500 metres long. The water is relatively shallow, giving the place its own opportunity for a day by the water, independent of the cultural programme. The various activities at Långnäsbadet include beach volleyball, among others. This means that a stay in Burträsk can be both relaxing and sporty, without having to commit to just one type of holiday.

If the weather is not suitable for spending time at the lake or you are looking for another way to stay active, Burträsk badhus offers swimming and training. This gives you a choice between a day at the sandy beach and a visit to the swimming centre when planning your trip. You can decide which option suits you better depending on how you feel that day and the pace you prefer.

The Kyrkstigen between Burträsk and Skellefteå

Burträsk is also connected to the historic Kyrkstigen trail. The trail has existed for hundreds of years and runs between Skellefteå and Burträsk. The Kyrkstigen can be started at Burträsk kyrka; parking is available at the churches. Anyone interested in history, regional trails and a special way of getting around can take this aspect into account when choosing how to spend their holiday. The historic dimension makes the Kyrkstigen an independent discovery alongside the attractions by the water.

Music, Dancing and Local Crafts

With Burträsksvängen, the town has a cultural programme that includes concerts, dance events and workshops throughout the year. The main event takes place on the third weekend of July at Hembygdsområdet in Burträsk. From Thursday to Sunday, music and dancing are on the programme there. On Saturday, there is also a market for food and handicrafts. Those who want to plan their trip around this event will find a clear cultural focus for their travel planning. At the same time, the year-round programme is a reason to view Burträsk from a musical and creative perspective outside this main event as well.

Which Accommodation Suits Your Stay?

When looking for a holiday apartment in Burträsk, it is worth deciding in advance what you want to focus on during your holiday. If you want to plan your trip around Burträsksvängen’s main event, the third weekend of July provides a specific planning reference point. For a more flexible stay, you can organise your days independently of this date according to the weather and the pace you prefer. As you continue your selection, consider above all which of these planning approaches best suits your stay in Burträsk.
