Glamping in Sweden

The endless forests, sparkling lakes, and fresh air of Sweden attract nature lovers from all over the world. But what if you want to experience the Swedish wilderness without sleeping in a small tent or lugging your own camping gear? Then glamping in Sweden is the perfect solution! At Nordic Woods in the beautiful Åsnen area, we offer luxury nature experiences that capture the essence of Sweden without compromising on comfort.

Glamping: a combination of ‘glamorous’ and ‘camping,’ gives you the best of both worlds: enjoying nature combined with the comfort and luxury of a nice stay. It’s the ideal way to explore the rugged Swedish landscape, especially for families with children or for those who normally find camping a bit too much.

Top Tips from Our Team

  • Bring warm clothing, even in the summer, as evenings can be surprisingly cool
  • Book your glamping accommodation well in advance, especially for the peak season (June-August)
  • Choose a location close to the water for the ultimate Swedish nature experience
  • Check in advance what’s included in your accommodation to avoid duplicates
  • Bring binoculars to spot wildlife from the comfort of your porch
  • Combine your glamping stay with some authentic Swedish activities like a sauna session

Glamping Sweden: A New Way to Experience the Wilderness

Imagine this: you're driving through the endless Swedish forests and after a beautiful ride, you arrive at Nordic Woods, your glamping destination on the edge of Åsnen National Park. Instead of having to pitch a tent and inflate air mattresses, you're welcomed to a fully equipped accommodation where everything is already set up for you.

Your first step onto the wooden deck of your safari tent overlooks the lake, where the morning mist is just lingering. You hear the birds in the distance as you wake up in a real bed with crispy sheets. Or the crackling of the campfire outside your luxury cabin, under a sky full of stars that you never see in the city.

Glamping has grown immensely in recent years, with options ranging from luxury safari tents and wooden cabins to tree houses and even glass igloos where you can sleep under the Northern Lights. At Nordic Woods, we specialize in luxury glamping experiences that combine authenticity with comfort.

Unique Glamping Accommodations

Unique glamping accommodations have been developed that perfectly match the stunning nature of the Åsnen area. Each accommodation offers its own special way to experience the Swedish wilderness:

Tipi Tents: Primal Scandinavian Luxury

Our Tipi Tents are inspired by traditional Sami homes but feature modern luxury. These conical tents, with their distinctive silhouette against the Swedish forest sky, are surprisingly spacious and comfortably furnished inside.

The Tipi Tents are built on wooden platforms and come equipped with a luxurious double bed and comfortable sleeping spots for children. The decor combines Scandinavian minimalism with traditional Sami elements. Each Tipi Tent has its own outdoor kitchen and a private fire pit where you can enjoy the campfire under the starry sky in the evenings.

Panorama Lodges: Swedish Nature in Widescreen

Panorama Lodges are the crown jewel of glamping in Sweden at Nordic Woods. These modern, glass accommodations offer a 180-degree view of the surrounding forest and Åsnen Lake, blurring the line between indoors and outdoors almost completely.

Imagine this: you wake up in a comfortable king-size bed, open your eyes, and look directly out over the morning mist hovering above the lake, while a deer cautiously comes to drink at the water's edge. This is the essence of our Panorama Lodges; you are literally immersed in nature while enjoying comfort.

The Panorama Lodges are equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, bathroom, and a private terrace. The smart architecture ensures that the lodges blend perfectly into the surroundings, with a minimal ecological footprint but a maximum nature experience.

Glamping Sweden with Kids: A Paradise for Families

What makes glamping in Sweden so special for families is the perfect balance between adventure and convenience. Kids get the freedom to explore nature, while parents enjoy the peace of mind of a comfortable home base.

At Nordic Woods, we have our glamping accommodations for families. The lodges feature separate sleeping areas, so parents can unwind after a day of fun while the kids are already asleep. The verandas ensure that even the little ones can play safely outside.

For families, Sweden offers the perfect mix of structure and wildness. Kids can experience the freedom of the outdoors, from picking berries to following animal tracks, while parents enjoy the comforts that the stay provides. No hassle with camping gas or coolers, just a kitchen where you can easily prepare a healthy meal.

Activities during your Glamping Adventure

A glamping stay is more than just a unique accommodation. It's a base for countless activities that immerse you in Swedish culture and nature:

Canoeing on Lake Åsnen

Directly from our glamping location, you can head out onto the stunning Lake Åsnen with a canoe. Paddle past the numerous islands, spot sea eagles soaring above you, and enjoy the tranquility, only interrupted by the sound of your paddle in the water.

Foraging and Bushcraft

Discover the edible treasures of the Swedish forest on a foraging trip. From blueberries and mushrooms to wild herbs, experts will teach you what you can safely pick and how to prepare it. Kids love these ‘edible treasure hunts’ and feel proud when they find the ingredients they gathered in the evening meal.

Wildlife Safaris

Sweden is known for its rich wildlife, and from your glamping accommodation, you have an excellent base for spotting animals. With our wildlife safaris, you’ll increase your chances of seeing moose, beavers, lynxes, or even wolves in their natural habitat.

Traditional Swedish Sauna

No glamping experience is complete without a traditional sauna session. At Nordic Woods, we have an authentic wood-fired sauna by the lake, where you can experience the true Swedish ritual: warming up in the sauna, followed by a refreshing dip in the lake – an experience that is both invigorating and relaxing.

Spotting the Northern Lights

In late autumn and winter months, Sweden offers a unique bonus: the chance to see the Northern Lights from the comfort of your warm accommodation. Just imagine: enjoying a glass of warm glögg (Swedish mulled wine) while watching the green and purple lights dance above you!

Seasons for Glamping in Sweden: Each with Its Own Charm

One of the most beautiful aspects of glamping in Sweden is that each season offers its own unique experience:

Summer (June-August)

The classic time for glamping in Sweden, with long, sun-soaked days where the sun barely sets. Perfect for swimming in the lakes, picking blueberries, and sitting outside late by the campfire. Nature is in full bloom, and wildlife is very active.

Autumn (September-October)

The Swedish forests transform into a spectacular palette of gold, red, and orange. The air is cool and fresh, mushrooms are popping up from the ground, and the moose are more active during the rutting season. Plus: fewer tourists and mosquitoes!

Winter (November-March)

Glamping in Sweden during winter offers a completely different, yet equally enchanting experience. Our heated accommodations keep you cozy warm while outside the world is covered with a blanket of snow. Activities like cross-country skiing, ice fishing, and snowshoeing create winter memories, while you return to your warm nest in the evenings.

Spring (April-May)

Nature awakens, with the first flowers breaking through the snow and migratory birds returning. It's a time of renewal, with young animals emerging for the first time and forests slowly turning green again. Perfect for birdwatchers and those who love tranquility.

Practical Tips for Your Glamping Sweden Experience

To make the most of your glamping adventure, we've gathered some practical tips:

What Should You Bring?

Even though your glamping accommodation is fully furnished, there are a few items that can make your stay even more enjoyable:

  • Slippers or warm socks for inside the accommodation
  • A good flashlight for evening walks
  • Binoculars for wildlife spotting from your porch
  • Insect repellent during the summer months
  • Waterproof shoes, even in the summer
  • Swimwear for the lake and sauna

  • Pre-prepared meal kits with local ingredients and easy cooking instructions

The Joy of Glamping: Why It's So Special

There's something indescribably magical about waking up in a comfortable bed while the morning sun filters through the trees and the sounds of nature gently wake you. Or sitting by a crackling campfire with a glass of local wine, while your kids sleep in a warm, safe environment just a few meters away.

Glamping in Sweden with Nordic Woods is all about those little moments of perfection. It's about bringing together comfort and adventure. It's about experiencing the unspoiled Swedish nature without sacrificing the comforts that make a vacation relaxing.

It's about creating memories that stick: the look on your child's face when they spot a moose for the first time from the safety of the porch. The taste of freshly picked blueberries in your pancakes. The smell of pine needles and campfire clinging to your hair and clothes, a natural perfume that transports you back to the forest for days to come.

At Nordic Woods, we believe these experiences should be accessible to everyone – not just the seasoned campers among us. With our glamping accommodations in Sweden, we make the enchanting Swedish nature accessible, comfortable, and unforgettable.

Whether you're a family with young children seeking a safe nature experience, a couple looking for romance under the starry sky, or simply someone who wants to experience nature without giving up comfort – glamping in Sweden with Nordic Woods offers the perfect mix of wildness and luxury.

So pack your suitcase (lightly, because everything you need is already waiting for you!) and get ready for a nature experience that will forever change your perspective on the outdoors.
