Hotels in Vättern, Sweden

Vättern is a massive, clear-water lake in southern Sweden, famous for its pristine fishing waters and the Vätternrundan, a 300-kilometer (186-mile) cycling race around the lake every June. The climate features cold winters with temperatures averaging around -5°C (23°F), perfect for ice fishing or skating on the frozen lake, and mild summers averaging 18°C (64°F), ideal for kayaking or hiking the Vätternleden trail along the eastern shore. During summer, you can join the Vätternrundan as a participant or spectator, while in winter, the ice fishing village at Karlsborg offers a unique overnight stay on the ice.
