Sol­sta­den — as it is also cal­led — is built on a del­ta of the Kla­räl­ven’s many bran­ches, whe­re the city cen­ter in the south also bor­ders both the Väner coast and the island of Ham­marö, a beau­ti­ful encla­ve that stret­ches out into the nort­hern parts of the inland sea. Acces­si­bi­li­ty by bike is extre­mely good and in addi­tion to many traf­fic-free options in the form of an exten­si­ve network of cyc­le pat­hs, Karl­stad is also a hub for two natio­nal cyc­le pat­hs — the Uni­ons­le­den from Moss in Nor­way and the Väner­le­den around the enti­re Lake Vänern — as well as the uni­que Kla­rälvs­ba­nan cyc­le path which offers 100 km of traf­fic-free cycling through the Värm­land lands­cape. Our uni­que cycling pac­kage invi­tes gre­at flex­i­bi­li­ty, but is also well plan­ned: lun­ches are inclu­ded regard­less of whe­re you choo­se to cyc­le. Vari­ous entran­ce tic­kets and cof­fee options as well. The accom­mo­da­tion holds the cer­ti­fi­ca­tion Cyc­le-Fri­end­ly Hos­pi­ta­li­ty. Buy the pac­kage and take part in the vari­ous daily pro­grams that are recom­men­ded. Custo­mi­ze the bike as nee­ded — options such as a box electric bike with a seat for the child­ren or a regu­lar electric bike are pos­sib­le. All day trips are avai­lab­le as a GPX file.
