About Us

A wonderful nature experience that gives peace to body and soul

Our Center

Nordmarkens Kanot & Turist Center AB is a wilderness lodge located in Risviken, Årjäng, in the Västra Värmland and Norra Dalsland regions of Sweden. Here, you can experience the true wilderness and find activities for the whole family, work colleagues, or schoolmates. Let me highlight some of the offerings:

Canoeing: Whether you want to explore on your own or join guided wilderness tours, Nordmarkens Kanot Center provides various canoeing experiences. They have both individual canoes and larger ones for groups.
Wilderness Adventures: Beyond canoeing, you can try outdoor activities like climbing on their outdoor climbing tower or even experience a day as a lumberjack, learning safe wood chopping techniques.
Youth Adventures: They offer wilderness adventures specifically designed for young people, including the Wilderness Experience International Survival School, multisport challenges, Indian Sweat Lodge and Hot Tub experiences, and more.

Accommodations: Nordmarkens Kanot Center offers glamping options, including aurorahuts, and you can also stay in their canal-side cabins.

Shop

In our shop you can buy most of what you need for your trip with us. We have extensive experience in outdoor equipment. Keep an eye on this part of the website and there will be great offers for the 2024 season. We have a well-stocked fishing department and a knowledgeable fishing guide!

We also have a small assortment of fresh produce and provisions. Fire steel, knives, emergency equipment, fuel for most of the gas and spirit stoves on the market and a well-stocked fishing equipment department.

For 2024, we will expand our range and also give you the opportunity to buy outdoor equipment that you can have delivered immediately or upon your arrival.

We have the WFI network in the main building and you can check departures for flights, ferries and trains as well as book your onward journey. In the recreation room, which is normally open in the evenings, you are welcome to sit down and have a coffee with us. In the shop there is also a small “cozy corner” with more information.

Book the trip or stays

We’d love to talk to you before you arrive. The idea is to offer you our experience and knowledge of this unique wilderness area. You can choose to paddle only in smaller lakes and streams that you can reach with short portages or to paddle in the larger lakes with locks. Many of our guests also choose a longer trip into Norway.
If you want to start or end at a place other than Risviken, we can arrange transport at reasonable prices. Many customers come back year after year to try new tours and experience tranquility and nature.
