Activities at Granö Beckasin

Discover the adventures of northern Sweden

We are experts in activities and experiences in the northern Scandinavian Lapland wilderness. A dog sledding tour in winter, a guided canoe tour in the midnight light in summer or a relaxing time in our outdoor bathtub – we offer both thrilling adventures and quiet moments. Nature, our lifestyle and the seasons are always the starting point. We are open all year, and there are always fun things to do in the forest and on the river. 

Guided outdoor tours - winter

Let us take you out into the winter landscape. Experience the amazing Lapland winter while staying safe. You don’t need any prior outdoor or winter wilderness experience. Our talented guides take care of you, show you the way and share their rich knowledge. In the winter, our most popular activities include dog sledding (we offer a variety of tours) and snow mobile tours on the frozen river. We are located an hour from Umeå in northern Sweden, and we are your perfect activities center for the perfect Scandinavian winter experience.

Musher for a day

This tour is suitable for more active individuals who want the experience of running your own dog sled for a whole day, supervised by a guide. The tour runs in hilly terrain over mountains, down in valleys, over marshes and ice covered lakes. The tour is a bit more demanding than our shorter rides.

Snow Mobile Tour

Discover this great way of accessing nature. The snow mobile is a much loved vehicle in the north of Sweden.

Guided outdoor tours - spring

The spring is a powerful and intense season here, just south of the polar circle in northern Sweden. The ice has to let go first, and snow has to melt. We call this part the winter-spring. After that everything happens fast. Buds open and leaves take shape. A hundred shades of green and lots of bird and wildlife activity are the highlights. In spring, our guided tours revolve around this burst of life: guided walks in the forest landscape.

Guided outdoor tours - summer

Summer in northern Scandinavia and Lapland means days with no end in sight (literally, the sun doesn’t set) and plenty of hours for outdoor activities. Our gentle river becomes the natural playground and it’s where some of our most popular experiences take place. How about a timber raft journey down river, or a canoeing tour in the midnight sun? Or a moose safari? Welcome this summer. We are an hour from Umeå in the north of Sweden.
