What to do and see in Fjallbacka, West Coast: The Best Things to do

On a desert island in an arqipelago of 365 small islets on the North West Coast of Sweden, you will find us, Väderöarnas Värdshus. Pilots and their familys have lived here for many hundred years, helping lost ships find their way, by keeping watch from the Pilots look out on the highest point on the biggest island Storö. In the old houses we have 16 rooms, 7 ensuite, mostly double rooms but also some family rooms. Our restaurant serves local, sometimes self catched sea food and a lot of other delicious courses made by our fantastic Chefs! You can relax in the granite sauna and our salt water hottubs just by the sea, so take a dip, the Scandinavian way! The beatiful, rocky walking path is a must! There is no natural water on the island, so we desalinate our daily use of water from the sea, we have our own power plant and solar cells for energy, we work active with sustainability! We get you safely from the mainland to the island, 45min, in our big Catapult Catamaran boats.

In Fjällbacka you have the option to rent a boat and become the captain to experience the beautiful archipelago outside of Fjällbacka.

The boat is of a smaller size and fits maximum six adults. It is easy to manoeuvre and allow the newest of sailor to get on the ocean by their own. Of course we will be there to assist you, giving you instructions about the boat in the beginning and just a phone call away when you are out on the sea if you need us. The boat comes with a full tank, anchor, and a sea chart, making it easier for you to navigate between the islands. If you would like we also provide lifejackets.
