Hunting and fishing

The old hunting grounds of the Lapps and the settlers are broad and teeming with wildlife. Hunting over more than a million hectares of mountain and forest entices hunters to visit the last wilderness of Europe from all over the world.

The grouse is one of the most popular prey animals in both the mountains and valleys, while inland there are forest birds such as great grouse and black grouse.
Elk hunting, which kicks off in September, is one of the most hectic seasons in the county – people come from far and wide to take part in the elk hunt alongside our own local hunters. The county has a lot of organisations that arrange guided tours for anyone wanting help with finding the best places to hunt.

World-class fishing!

True fishing enthusiasts will never get tired of Västerbotten. There’s a wide variety of fishing waters here, from still mountain lakes to foaming rapids. Byske Laxdal, with the Byskeälven river teeming with salmon running through it, brings in people from all over Europe who are keen on fishing and nature.

The surrounding area, with more than 100 km of coastland and more than 30 inland lakes, offers angling, spinning and fly fishing.
