Storsjöbygden
Where myth meets reality
Welcome to the home of the legendary Storsjöodjuret (the Great Lake Monster). Storsjöbygden is a fertile cultural region surrounding Sweden’s fifth-largest lake, where open landscapes meet stunning views of the mountains and Östersund, the vibrant central town. Here, a wide range of adventures awaits the whole family – from the historic Jamtli and Moose Garden to Hoverberg Cave, the wooden crafts center at Wikners in Persåsen, the fascinating Meteorite Center, the Arvemuseum showcasing industrial history, and the mysterious rock carvings at Glösa.
Explore the area’s active outdoor life, with everything from boat trips to hiking. Thanks to a convenient network of bridges and ferries, it’s easy to create your own tours around the lake and discover the archipelago of Storsjön.
Storsjöbygden spans parts of Östersund, Berg, Krokom, and Åre municipalities. Arrive by car, train, or via Åre Östersund Airport to a region where history lives on and adventure is always close.
