Stora Blåsjön: Skiing, Waterfall and Local History

In Stora Blåsjön, you can plan your trip around different interests: alpine skiing, snowmobile rental, the Nedre Brakkåfallet waterfall and Ankarede Chapel each offer a different focus. When choosing, consider whether you’re looking for winter sports, an outing by the water or a historical landmark. Every Midsummer, a Sami church festival lasting several days is held in Ankarede.

History by the lake

Ankarede Chapel was built in 1895. The chapel is located between the Ankarälven and Lejarälven rivers, where both flow into Lake Stora Blåsjön. Its construction date and location offer two different points of reference: the year gives the chapel historical context, while the rivers describe its precise geographical setting. If you’d like to include local history alongside sporting activities, the chapel offers a distinct cultural focus.

Nedre Brakkåfallet: trail and swimming

Nedre Brakkåfallet offers a different focus from the mountain facility. The waterfall is beside Vildmarksvägen, at the start of Stora Blåsjön; the marked trail to the waterfall begins there. Nedre Brakkåfallet is also suitable for swimming. These two details answer different planning questions: the marked trail indicates where the route begins, while the swimming information points to another activity available on site. Natural conditions can vary, so take this into account when planning to swim.

Distinguishing camp accommodation from hotels

Camp Stora Blåsjön is centrally located in Stora Blåsjön and offers apartments, cabins and pitches for rent. At Vildmarksvägen, Camp Stora Blåsjön has 40 pitches for motorhomes, caravans and tents. The camp’s central location in the village is distinct from the location of its pitches on Vildmarksvägen. The number refers to pitches. The rental options and pitches therefore suit different types of accommodation: apartments and cabins are available to rent, while the pitches are intended for motorhomes, caravans and tents. The camp categories listed are different types of accommodation from hotels.
