Hotels in Västerbotten, Sweden

Västerbotten lies in northern Sweden near the Arctic Circle, famous for its sharp Västerbotten cheese and the Midnight Sun. Winters bring snow-covered forests perfect for dog sledding at around -20°F (-29°C), while mild summers up to 70°F (21°C) let you hike Vindelfjällen Nature Reserve or canoe on the Ume River. The coastal city of Umeå offers museums and cafes, but the inland mountains give you raw wilderness for backcountry camping.
