Welcome to the only city in the region of Jämtland Härjedalen – a unique blend of vibrant city life and mountain-close outdoor adventure. As a UNESCO City of Creative Gastronomy, Östersund offers a world-class culinary journey, where local food artisans add flavor to life along the beautiful shores of Lake Storsjön.

Here, adventure is always close at hand, from biathlon at the national arena and perfectly groomed cross-country trails to action-filled days in Surfbukten or on the city’s own ski slopes. Discover history at Jamtli, experience South Sámi culture at Gaaltije, or enjoy the magic of winter in Vinterparken by the harbor and out on the ice of Lake Storsjön.

Whether you are looking for culture, shopping, or adventure, it’s easy to feel at home in Staare (which means “the city” in South Sámi). By car, train, bus, or flight to Åre Östersund Airport, you arrive right in the heart of a city where nature and mountain views are your constant companions.
