A place to linger

This small wooden bridge in Linehäll allows you to cross the lake in its narrowest part.

Since October 2013, the Östersund ski stadium, which had been expanded to international standards twenty years earlier, has been declared Sweden's national biathlon arena. The facility hosts biathlon world cup competitions every year, usually in conjunction with the season opener at the end of November. The 1970, 2008 and 2019 biathlon world championships were held here. The arena is also a popular venue for sled dog races, such as the WSA Sprint World Championships in February 2025. The ski area has 89 kilometers of groomed slopes, 29 kilometers of which are illuminated. Since 2007, there has been a snow guarantee from November 1st. This is made possible by the municipality storing large amounts of snow covered with sawdust in the summer.

The town hall, designed by the architect Frans Bertil, was completed in 1912. In 1986, Östersund celebrated its 200th anniversary and to mark the anniversary, a carillon was introduced in the tower, which plays three times a day.

If you want, you can also build beautiful buildings in Sweden.

Östersund is the center of the province of Jämtland County and is always worth a trip. There are a variety of options here for purchasing typical regional products and practical outdoor equipment. Many restaurants and cafés invite you to linger. Östersund is the perfect starting point for hikes in the region.

The Restaurang in the Thoméegrände is quite hidden, but is a real tip. Excellent Indian food is served here, served by the friendly owner himself.
