Activities
Activities all year around
Doesn't matter if while hiking, surfing, snowboarding, on the SUP, on skis or just by simply chilling at the beach - There are many ways to enjoy the Swedish nature in every season. Furthermore Härnösand has a variety of other activities to offer.
Hiking
The Höga Kusten is one of the best hiking areas in Sweden. There are many kilometers of amazing trails that go through pine forests, along beaches and lakes and all the way up to rocky mountain tops. It is also possible and quite epic to hike in winter, but only on selected trails otherwise you need to use snowshoes or skis and off you go anywhere you want.
Surfing
Yes there actually are surfspots around and we can get some nice waves. It is not like Portugal but therefore no full lineups, a great surfer community and just lots of fun. We are happy to take you surfing with us - Surfboards are available.
Surfing is mostly a summer and autumn thing, but Adam even surfs as long as the surfspot is not frozen
Winter Sports
Winter sports are a big thing up here.
Härnösand has a nice skislope and you find several slopes in the area, where you can ski and snowboard. There are tracks for cross-country skiing right on the big lake at the Coliving and several more kilometer in the area. With hiking skis or snowshoes you can also get anywhere you want.
More activities
Härnösand is a super active town and I am amazed again and again how many activities it has to offer. There is an amazing pole studio, a climbing/bouldering hall, a ceramics studio, a tennis and a swimming hall (with Spa)... The list goes on. At most activities you can just drop in, but you can also book classes if you stay a little longer.
Equipment
For some activities you will need equipment. In Sweden we have Fritidsbanken in most towns, including Härnösand, where you can rent equipment up to two weeks completely for free. Especially for winter sports they have everything.
We also have some equipment at the Coliving which can be used - Surfboards, SUPs, a pole, tennis stuff and so on.
