Nature and surroundings

This timber cabin has been built in 2001 on a remote place with a beautiful overview on Mount Niebsurte (990 m). It is located 100 m from Laisan river shoreline on a slope, accessible either by boat from the village Laisvallby or by walking 300 m from the forest road Laisdalenvägen. In winter, it is accessible either by skis or snowmobile. The cabin is located at the core of Laisdalen old mountain forest, a large nature reserve 100 km long, located on both sides of the Lais river. Here you encounter wild, magnificent mountain forest, slowly climbing to the alpine highland. In the middle of the area lies Delliknäs, a settlement built in 1892. Here you can gain insight into the arduous life of settlers in times past. The old growth mountain forest in Laisdalen Nature Reserve is 794 square kilometres in size. The King’s Trail -kungslenden- and several other trails, including snowmobile trails, pass through Laisdalen.
