Eat well and feel great
Do you love life? Then you’re in the right place! Västerbotten is one of Sweden’s most exciting regions when it comes to food. There are a number of spas here, too, where you can relax in some beautiful surroundings and enjoy some delicious food.
Reindeer and elk, salmon and salmon trout, grouse and chanterelles, cloudberries and lingonberries. The Västerbotten countryside is simply teeming with ingredients which generations of chefs have turned into delicacies on the dinner table. These ingredients form the basis for renowned Västerbotten cuisine, which in its very finest form can be enjoyed at the award-winning restaurants Viktor (Umeå), Rex (Umeå), Hotell Borgafjäll and Sånninggården (Hemavan). But of course, you can also enjoy delicious food with a flavour of Västerbotten at many other restaurants in the county. Just ask your nearest tourist office for information.

In our beautiful mountains, you have every chance of recharging your batteries thanks to some fresh air and healthy exercise. The varied range of hotels and cottages provides a good basis for excursions into our magnificent countryside.

There are also a number of exclusive spas to choose from. IKSU Spa in Umeå is Sweden’s first culture spa, home to art in various forms. Källan Spa & Konferens is situated on the highest mountain in Västerbotten, built in the shape of an eagle and offers stone massage and a health spa, among other things.
