The Gateway to Dalsland
Discover Dalsland
Vita Sandar is located where Dalsland meets Lake Vänern. A canal and aqueduct, art in old mills, manor houses, small-town cafés, and true wilderness—all within a short drive.
Field Trips
A Sweden in miniature, just around the corner
Stay in one place and see something new every day. And most places are open even after the swimming season ends, so Dalsland is just as worth a visit in May or October.
