Discover Kälarne: Winter, cinema and Kälarnedagen

When planning a stay in Kälarne, there are several specific options to choose from: Svedjebacken and the illuminated trail are winter-related, while Kälarnedagen takes place on June 6. Other options include the swimming pool at Kälarne School, the library next to the school, Norden Bio cinema and a canoe launch site at Hemsjön. First consider whether a winter activity, an event date or a recreational facility is the main factor in your trip.

Facilities and local history

Kälarne’s swimming pool is located on the premises of Kälarne School; the library is next to the school. The school serves as a shared landmark for finding your way around: the swimming pool is inside the building, and the library is next door.

The history of the name dates back to the 19th century. When the Northern Main Line was routed through eastern Jämtland, the station locality was given the name Kälarne. If you would like to include a historical point of interest in your travel plans alongside recreational activities, this connection between the place name, the station locality and the railway’s route at the time is a good option.

Winter activities in Kälarne

Svedjebacken is owned by Kälarne IK and operated by the club. Ski lessons for beginners of all ages are offered there; the programme may change. So check the course information for your planned dates before your trip. The lessons are a specific option for beginners of different ages, but the current information should guide your plans.

Another winter-related option is the illuminated trail in Kälarne: it starts in Ånäset, and Kälarne IK maintains it during the winter. Unlike Svedjebacken, the focus here is not on lessons but on the starting area and winter maintenance. If you are choosing between the two, first consider whether the lessons themselves or the location of the trailhead in Ånäset is more important to you.

Events, cinema and canoe launch site

Kälarnedagen has been celebrated every year on June 6 for many years. The programme includes, among other things, the presentation of the Årets Eldsjäl award, musical entertainment and market stalls. If this day is the reason for your trip, plan around June 6 and check the details of the next edition separately.

Norden Bio adds a cinema option to the winter-related activities: the cinema is run by Kälarne IK on a voluntary basis. The club owns and operates Svedjebacken; at the cinema, volunteer work is part of the operating model.

There is a canoe launch site at Hemsjön. Check access conditions before setting out, as some of the information may be out of date.
