For those who live in Kåppa's holiday village

Kåppas Cottage Village

Welcome to Björkliden - one of Sweden's most classic tourist destinations. Already at the beginning of the 20th century, travelers started coming here via the newly built Malmbanan, attracted by the mountains, the vast landscapes and the feeling of freedom. They were pioneers in a then almost unknown part of the world.

This legacy is something we are proud to cherish. Since 1926, we have been creating memorable experiences for our guests, with the ambition to continue to be a place that feels genuine and authentic - characterized by tradition, care and a unique atmosphere.

Here you will find a free zone for both body and soul, all year round.
We wish you a very pleasant stay and hope you will enjoy your stay with us.

The cottage

Lamps
In some of our cabins, you need to put one of the cabin keys in the small holder inside the front door for the roof lights to work.

Kitchen
In order for the stove to work in some of our cottages, you need to press a timer. This timer can be in a few different places, but in most cottages it is in the hallway between the front door and the kitchen/living room. Follow the QR code to get to the list of kitchen utensils that should be in the cottage. If you are missing something, let the reception know and we will complete the cottage's kitchen equipment.

sauna
To start the sauna in the cabins that have a sauna, there are two knobs at the bottom of the sauna heater. One is for the temperature, you can turn it up to maximum. The other is a timer. If you look closely, you can see that it first says 1-4, which is the active time when the sauna is running. If you turn it past 4, there will be 1-8 markings on the knob again. This part works as a timer until the sauna starts. If you want the sauna to be hot when you get home after a day of skiing or hiking, you can use these numbers. It takes about 30-45 minutes for the sauna to heat up. It's wonderful to roll around in the snow when you're in the sauna, but be careful not to lock yourself out.

Pre-book final cleaning of the cottage
If you want us to clean the cottage for you, you need to book it no later than the day before departure.
A departure cleaning costs 2.510 SEK, contact the reception to book!

Departure
Check-out on the day of departure is at 11:00. Please contact the reception if you wish to stay an extra day.

Before departure
Before you leave the cottage, we would like to ask you to do a proper final cleaning so that the next guest has the same great experience as you. Below you will find a checklist to guide you through what needs to be done.

Thank you very much for helping us keep the accommodation comfortable and well cared for!

Public rights of way, etiquette

Please take the time to familiarize yourself with the rules and guidelines we have in our mountains through the links below. Staff are always on hand to help you if you have any questions: contact our guides in Sporten or staff at reception for tips and other things to consider.

County Administrative Board - Mountain etiquette (opens in new tab)
Fjällsäkerhetsrådet - Allemansrätten (opens in new tab)
Swedish Environmental Protection Agency - The right of public access in the mountains (opens in new tab)

Key principles from these sources:

  • ”Do not disturb, do not destroy”: this is the golden rule of public access.
  • Respect reindeer: Keep your distance, keep dogs on a leash, especially during the calving season (April-June).
  • Leash requirements March 1-August 20
  • Leave no trace: not even paper or food scraps. Due to the cold climate, it takes years for it to decompose.
  • Take all your rubbish home with you.
  • Fire safety: Use camping stoves or designated fireplaces. Be extremely careful with open fires, especially in dry or windy conditions, and check for fire bans.
  • Stay on the trails: Especially in sensitive mountain environments, stick to marked trails to minimize impact. Use footbridges in wet areas.
  • Camping: Camp for one or two nights only, far from houses and cultivated land. Choose your site carefully on durable surfaces.
  • Water: Although much mountain water is clean, boiling is the safest option. Get rid of human feces far from water sources by digging a small pit.
  • Local rules: Always check specific rules in national parks, nature reserves and other protected areas you visit, as these may override the general right of public access.
  • Preparation and safety: Inform someone about your route, check weather forecasts (e.g. SMHI or yr.no), bring appropriate equipment (map, compass, emergency phone, warm clothes) and assess your own capabilities.

Other information

  • Think about nature: bring litter, respect wildlife and land.
  • Sometimes we come across litter that someone else has dropped. We are all here together and it is therefore encouraged that we help to bring it from the mountain - even if it is not our own.
