;
condos summer/winter from Skr595/1300)
Some of the area's most luxurious resorts become very affordable in summer; condos at
Kläppen, for instance, are a smoking deal in July and August, when the price of an average
hostel room fetches you a fully equipped apartment with kitchenette, patio, jacuzzi and
pool access.
The resort can also book guided canoe tours (adult/child from Skr280/220) and other
activities.
