Hike on the three islands Vålön, Kalvön and Sibberön in a nature reserve in Lake Vänern. A beautiful hiking experience along beaches, smooth rocks, forest and a view of the horizon. 4 km one way.

Take the boat to Vålön and hike the true archipelago gem, Tre öars led (Three Islands Trail). This quality assured Hiking Värmland trail is approximately 4 kilometers one way, and you walk between the islands over footbridges with excellent accessibility. It is an easy day hike in the Värmland forest, enhanced with a fantastic lake view.

Along the way, there are opportunities to swim from both sandy beaches and cliffs. There is a good chance to see wildlife, especially birds. Enjoy your packed lunch at a nice spot with a view of Lake Vänern. Try your luck, fishing at Lakholmsuddarna, which offers a magical view of the Lake Vänern horizon.
