Holidays in Birka

Yep. Jamtland County is kinda off the beaten track. But let's be honest, who wants to follow the tourist trail anyway? Besides, there's plenty to discover in this amazing region (not least of all its impressive lakes, mountains and snowfields). Base yourself in Birka and you can check it all out from there.

It lies 470 kilometres northwest of Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.

There's nothing that compares to watching a sunset by the sea. At some point during your trip, organise an excursion to Are Beach, 75 kilometres to the west.

Leave your phone in the car and explore the calming landscapes of Badhusparken and Viewing Tower.

Enjoy the sensation of icy wind on your face as you snowboard your way down the mountain at Are Ski Resort. If you're on a mission to find more of that precious powder, head to Are Bjornen Children's Ski Area.

The Jamtli and the Froso Zoo are quite close to the middle of Ostersund, 8 kilometres to the southeast. Need more? Orrviken, 16 kilometres to the south of Birka, features Froso Church and the Moose Garden.

When you want to unleash the adventurer within, sign up for some snowmobiling. That said, there aren't many better ways to experience the wonders of the local area than with a bit of ice skating.

Squeeze the most out of winter by having a go at snowboarding. If you're not ready to take off your coat and hat, also try your hand at skiing.

If you're a history lover, you'll be pleased to learn that there are several traditional villages nearby. Journey back in time and discover the region's rich background.

Clothing? Check. ID? Check. But have you brought your appetite? With some delectable food and drink to gulp down around this region, it's the one thing you won't want to leave at home.

This part of the world has its own cuisine centred on local ingredients. You'll discover elk and lingonberries are two popular elements in many of the dishes.

No true culinary adventurer would visit Birka without tucking into a couple of the classic meals, such as vendace roe (vendace caviar) and janssons frestelse (potato and anchovy casserole).

'Stressed' spelled backwards is 'desserts', and we don't believe in coincidences. There's no more delightful way to let your troubles melt away than with saffransbullar (saffron buns), a sweet treat often found on dining tables here.

If you're feeling rather thirsty and would like to indulge in a glass of amber nectar, we suggest Carnegie Porter. Go out for happy hour, make some new friends and bottoms up!

If the night beckons for something stronger, ask for glögg (mulled wine). Mixed or straight — your barkeeper will know the most satisfying way to drink it.

Be on the lookout for bacchus and merlot on the wine menus. They're well-known local specialities for both connoisseurs and novices alike.

Like all good things in life, your time here must eventually come to an end. When it's time to pack up your belongings and head off, say a last "Vi ses senare" and spend your remaining holiday allowance on some postcards to take home.

With some preparation, making it to Vaernes Airport (TRD), the nearest airport, won't be too much trouble. It's about 180 kilometres to the west of downtown Birka.
