Solberg: Discover Winter, Nature and Culture

Solberg combines winter activities, mountain landscapes, fishing opportunities and a distinctive church building. Those looking for a holiday apartment in Solberg can therefore plan their stay around their preferred combination: winter sports at Solbergsbacken, views and trails on Solberget, or nature experiences around the water and gorge. The area also offers families a variety of reasons to spend time together outdoors, without every day of the holiday having to look the same.

Winter days at Solbergsbacken

In winter, Solbergsbacken offers six slopes and a children’s slope. This makes it easy to plan according to the interests of everyone in your group: while some use the slopes, children have their own area to enjoy. Solbergsbacken also has a relaxation area with an outdoor hot tub. Sportboa, a ski shop, is also located in Solberg near Solbergsbacken.

There is clear information for getting there: Solbergsbacken is located at Fritidsvägen 12, 895 98 Solberg, and is easiest to reach by car. The ski resort is 9 Swedish miles from Örnsköldsvik. When choosing accommodation, you should therefore pay particular attention to your planned journey and your preferred balance between ski days and other excursions.

Solberget with views and short trail sections

Solberget reaches an elevation of 594 metres above sea level. An observation tower on the mountain offers a 360-degree view. A signposted hiking trail of approximately 3 kilometres to Solberget also starts at Kyrkvägen in Solberg. This information is useful when planning a day centred around a hike and a viewpoint.

The Vitklippan barbecue area is located on Solberget and offers views over Solbergsbyn. You can park by the road and then follow a signposted trail for approximately 200 metres to Vitklippan. This makes it possible to approach the excursion differently from the longer hike from Kyrkvägen. Those travelling with children or wishing to accommodate different preferences for physical activity can choose between these two described routes.

Gorge, rivers and fishing experiences

Near Solberg lies Stockholmsgata, a 50-metre-deep and 1.5-kilometre-long gorge formation. The nature reserve can be reached via a turn-off from Road 348 near Solberg. For a nature-focused stay, this is a separate excursion destination, distinct from the trails and viewpoints on Solberget.

Fishing is another possible holiday theme. Near Solberg, the Solbergån offers opportunities for fly-fishing for grayling and trout. In the Solbergsbygdens fiskevårdsområde area, Djuptjärna offers ice fishing for rainbow trout and perch. Depending on the season and your interests, you can therefore consider whether winter days, mountain hikes or fishing waters should shape your stay when choosing your holiday apartment.

Solbergs kyrka and the regional context

Solbergs kyrka is located on the southern slope of Solberget and offers views over the surrounding area. It was inaugurated in September 1918. The single-nave wooden church is 37 metres long, and the western tower is 21 metres high. The church is therefore not only a destination for visitors interested in culture, but also a specific example of Solberg’s architectural history.

In the wider regional context, Anundsjö Vildmark refers to the area around Solberg and Rödvattnet in the north-western part of Örnsköldsvik Municipality; the designation covers the area in and around Solberg in Örnsköldsvik Municipality and is part of the Höga Kusten area. This context makes it easier to find a suitable base if you would like to combine Solberg with further regional discoveries.
