Best time to travel

In Sweden, it is bright and warm for long periods in summer and dark and freezing cold for long periods in winter. Despite these contrasting conditions, many campsites in Värmland are also open in winter, as the weather when camping in Värmland is influenced by two different climate zones.

While Lake Vänern in the south of the region stores heat and is responsible for the rather mild climate, the north has a fresh mountain climate. Lake Vänern only freezes over in particularly cold winters, whereas in midsummer it is pleasant to swim in water temperatures of 20 degrees Celsius. The best time to visit for campers is from May to August, with July being the warmest with temperatures of up to 26 degrees Celsius.
