Discover Sollefteå: Nature, Culture and Hallstaberget

Sollefteå combines a landscape shaped by nipor, river valleys and forests with a wide range of experiences at Hallstaberget, in the town centre and along the Ångermanälven. For your trip planning, this means you can focus on longer hikes, short walks, winter sports, culture or paddling trips, and then choose a suitable holiday apartment or holiday home in Sollefteå.

Hiking between nipor and the river valley

The Nipleden hiking trail begins at Sollefteå Camping on Risön in the centre of Sollefteå. At 27 kilometres, it can be hiked in full or in suitable sections. Cliffs up to 50 metres high lie along the route. Large parts of the trail follow the nipor; in places, the path is steep and narrow. Take these differing trail characteristics into account when planning your day and decide whether a longer hike or a selected section is a better fit for your holiday.

Hallstaberget also has marked running and walking trails through hilly terrain with different types of surface. Another option is Hullstaklippen: this short, easily accessible day trip on Hallstaberget begins at Hotell Hallstaberget. This means that, in addition to the extensive Nipleden, shorter activities are also available, without having to limit your trip to just one type of activity.

Hallstaberget in summer and winter

The ski stadium at the summit of Hallstaberget has a total of 60 kilometres of well-prepared cross-country ski trails through varied terrain. Hallsta's roller-ski track is considered one of the most challenging and varied tracks in Sweden. Above the hotel, lift-assisted cycling is also available via the Familjeliften. Hallsta Ski is the name given to all activities offered at Hallstaberget in summer and winter.

In the Hågestön recreation area, there is a walking trail around the island; in winter, it is complemented by a ski trail. Those who want to experience the Ångermanälven from the water can rent kayaks from Sollefteåguiderna. Both day trips and paddling trips with overnight stays are available. This selection makes it easier to decide whether to plan hiking boots, cross-country skiing equipment or a paddle for your trip.

Culture in the town centre

Kulturstråket in Sollefteå town centre is an art experience that combines history and art. It begins at the centre of Gågatan at Atti Gränd and leads along Minnenas allé on a walk for locals and visitors. The cultural landscape also includes Tingshuset, designed by Folke Zetterwall. The building is characterised by the National Romanticism of the period around the turn of the previous century and features distinctive Norwegian and Scottish elements.

Ådalsbyn is located in the park between the former Tingshuset and the Nipvallen sports field. The historical context remains important here: Tingshuset is referred to as a former building. Those who want to combine nature experiences and culture can include these different focuses in their trip planning and take their preferred daily rhythm into account when looking for accommodation.

Choose the right base

The most convenient way to get from Hallstaberget to the town centre is by car. It is also possible to walk, although the return journey to the mountain involves 2 kilometres uphill. This difference is relevant when planning your day if you want to combine activities on the mountain with things to do in the centre. Before booking your holiday apartment, decide whether Nipleden, Hallstaberget, culture or the Ångermanälven should be the focus of your trip.
