How to reach the Nordic Refuge?

Cyclists are welcome — and Dalsland has some truly scenic routes.
There are 4 major cycling routes passing in the street just in front of the B&B: Vänerleden, Dalslandsleden, Sverigeleden & Unionsleden making Nordic Refuge a perfect stop or base for multi-day tours. You can also join us from the West Coast by linking EuroVelo 3 (EV3) with Dalslandsleden around Strömstad.

Would you prefer to bring your bicycle on the train? You can reach Åmål (on Västtrafik trains) and cycle the last 20 km. 

The nearest train station is Åmål, about 20 km from Nordic Refuge. Buses run daily from Åmål station directly to Fröskog (note: services are limited on weekends).

From Göteborg (Gothenburg), you can reach Åmål in around 90 minutes by train. From continental Europe it’s easy to connect via Copenhagen or Malmö and then on to Göteborg with Öresundståg services — including seasonal night trains from Berlin to Malmö. 

Check schedules and plan your route with Swedish Railways before travelling.

 By car, Nordic Refuge is approximately 180 km from Göteborg (Gothenburg).

For a scenic approach:

• From Göteborg, take the E6 northbound towards Oslo.
• Exit at Uddevalla and follow road 172 for a quieter, more beautiful route than the main E45.
• You’ll arrive in Fröskog via Dals-Långed. 

If you’re travelling from continental Europe by ferry, options include:

• Kiel to Göteborg overnight with Stena Line
• Lübeck to Malmö for a shorter crossing
• Rostock to Trelleborg as another comfortable option

Travelling by water gives you a gentle start to your Swedish adventure.
