Exciting outdoor activities for the whole family

How about spending time outside, cooking over an open fire and maybe sleep under the open sky? Fishing, canoeing? We have guides that will take care of you and handle all the practical issues during the tours.

We want to offer an alternative to water parks and amusement parks. We offer an activity- and accommodation package for families with younger children. Here you can try activities that are just as exciting, but on the countryside in a stressless environment, without queues and crowding. Together with the family.

We offer a super cozy accommodation at the guest house Årås Kvard, where each and every room has its own history and decor. From here it’s close to many different activities that one may not always be used to having around the corner. How about 5 kilometers to an ice-cream factory with a café and farm shop, a proper distance for a bike ride. Here you can enjoy homemade ice-cream made with milk from the neighbors cows, eggs from their own free-range chickens and fruits and berries from the garden and forest nearby.
