Blattnicksele: Cross-country skiing, fishing and a beach at the campsite

When planning a trip to Blattnicksele, there are several specific activities to choose from: cross-country ski trails of varying lengths, fishing opportunities on and around the Vindelälven, and the beach at Blattnicksele Camping. Guided fishing tours and boat rentals are also available there. The options vary by trail length, season and type of activity—factors that play a role in choosing when to travel and planning each day.

Cross-country skiing: a short loop or a longer route

Several cross-country ski trails start in Blattnicksele at the lit training track. These include a shorter loop of about 1.8 kilometres. Longer trails are approximately 9 to 11 kilometres long and pass through forest and over marshland. The shorter loop and longer routes can be compared by their approximate length; the longer trails also feature forest and marsh scenery. If you are planning a day of cross-country skiing, both factors can help you choose the type of route you want.

Fishing and activities on the water

The Vindelälven flows past Blattnicksele Camping and offers opportunities to fish for trout, grayling, perch, whitefish and pike. Blattnicksele Camping also offers guided fishing tours for beginners and experienced anglers. Later in the season, in August and September, salmon fishing is possible around Gargnäs and Blattnicksele. Ice fishing is also possible in the area around Blattnicksele. The fishing options vary by location and timing: the river fish are found in the Vindelälven by the campsite, salmon fishing is available in late summer around Gargnäs and Blattnicksele, and ice fishing is an option in the surrounding area. If you are specifically planning to fish for salmon, August and September are the relevant months. The river species and ice fishing offer different options for other fishing interests.

Blattnicksele Camping rents boats for a minimum of two hours, as well as for a day or a week. This lets you compare different rental periods: a rental of at least two hours, a full day or a week. Guided fishing tours are a separate activity; the focus there is on the guided experience, while boat rentals are defined by their duration. You can therefore choose between the two options based on the type of activity and the time you have planned.

Beach and directions

Blattnicksele Camping is located on a sandy peninsula surrounded by the Vindelälven. Blattnicksele Beach is at the campsite.
