Welcome to multifaceted conference centre and campsite at the heart of the province of Värmland. The campsite area is well suited both for large or small camps. We can also offer possibilities for courses and meetings with indoor accommodation for about 110 people. Get in touch and we’ll find the solution that’s best for you.
Beside the splendid
Ransberg manor there are two drained camping
fields for large and small camps. The fields have fresh drinking water,
permanent toilets and waste separation facilities. For camp work and fuel, there
are well stocked pole and firewood stores right next to the fields. You can
enjoy a hot shower in the ablution block just a short distance from the fields.
The dammed pond, filled
from the Ranån river, is great for
swimming, raft building and practising simple canoeing.
Ransberg’s outdoor
stage is located in the
lovely Gilwell valley. It is suitable for larger gatherings such as campfires
and other activities.
The surrounding area includes wonderful forest, hills, boglands and
lakes – fantastic for hikes and nights under the stars. There are a number of
fixed windbreaks with views out over the pond.
Activities
Ball games
There is a football
pitch with goals beside the manor house and a beach volleyball pitch alongside
the pond. There are two boules pitches by the barbecue cabin. Balls for the
different activities can be borrowed from our activity room.
Canoes
Ransberg has 10 canoes for hire – Canadian – including oars and lifejackets. The canoes are loaded on a trailer that can be pulled by a regular car. Our pond is ideal for practising simple canoeing and lifesaving. The nearby lakes Ransjön and Skalltjärn offer more scope for canoeing, and the Klarälven river has many excellent stretches.
Climbing wall
In our barn there is a
rather challenging 8-metre climbing wall. It has holds for four different
routes of various degrees of difficulty. Fixed ropes along the wall and
harnesses ensure safety.
A recent addition is
our bouldering wall beside our climbing wall.
Cycling
The Klarälven trail is an old railway track that has been made into a cycle track. It stretches from Karlstad in the south to Hagfors in the north and is an excellent, easy track with lots of opportunities for activities and interest along the way. The distance from Ransberg to the Klarälven trail is just over 3 km.
Frisbee golf
Ransberg has a
nine-hole frisbee golf course for all ages!
The course takes you round the whole of Ransberg. A perfect tour! At the same time as you enjoy the peace of the countryside, the frisbee golf gives you a real adrenaline kick. The course is available all yearr and there are frisbees for you to borrow.
Geocaching
For anyone who feels like doing an outdoor treasure hunt, there are more than 100 caches hidden around Ransberg. We have sat navs for hire if you don’t have a smartphone.
The villages of Ransäter,
Munkfors, Sunne and Torsby, to name a few, are within cycling distance and
offer lots of cultural activities and attractions. Mårbacka (Selma Lagerlöf’s
birthplace), Erlandergården and Geijergården in Ransäter. There are lots of
great hiking trails in the wonderful forests, which are interspersed with areas
that have a rich cultural heritage. Go to Visit Värmland for more information.
Survival Track
Survival Track is an adventure for old and young.
Swimming
Right beside the manor
house is our own little bathing area. This is a dammed pond with a little sandy
beach and a jetty. In our storeroom you can find inflatable rubber rings for
games. The canoes can also be used in the pond. There are other locations for
swimming within hiking distance (5 km).
