our region
Welcome to
Skellefteå Älvdal!
Discover our beautiful region, which extends inland from the coast all the way to the mountains
and the Norwegian border.
This brochure contains a lot of valuable information that will help you, both before and during
your visit, such as recommendations for accommodation, where you can hire a car, or where you
can find free WiFi.
You will find out about the behaviour that is expected of visitors to our natural surroundings, as
well as about other things the area has to offer. For example, do you know what is meant by the
black bin bags that you may see hung up along the roadside?
Plan your visit and, if there’s anything else you’d like to know, please don’t hesitate to contact the
tourist information office in the relevant municipality

Nature
The region has wonderful natural assets, interesting wildlife and
unforgettable experiences to offer. The natural environment is
also the workplace of the indigenous reindeer-herding Sámi
people. The majority of northern Sweden is reindeer-grazing
territory. For the sake of the Sámi, the animals and other nature
lovers, it is therefore important that anybody who spends time in
the nature treats it with respect. If you should encounter any
reindeer or other wild animals, keep your distance.
