Heading out in a kayak or canoe on Vänern is both an exciting adventure and a good way of seeing the wonderful scenery around the lake. Along the shores there are several companies that offer equipment for hire and guided tours. You can, of course, try exploring without a guide instead; click here for a link to maps of canoeing and kayaking routes in selected archipelagos.

Lake Vänern should be easy to explore, and that’s why Lake Vänern Grand Tour exists — a concept that connects Vänern into one destination. Around the lake, new hidden gems and activities await, such as cycling, paddling, hiking, boating, and fishing. On the map, we’ve gathered trails and service locations so you can quickly and easily plan your next visit and discover new experiences along the way. We call it Lake Vänern Grand Tour.
