Appreciate Sweden’s outside playground for kids and adults by participating in all the experiences this lovely town and resort offers.

Båstad on Sweden’s Bjäre Peninsula has major appeal to locals and tourists for its pleasing environment and numerous activities. Located on the country’s southwestern coast, it benefits from a good climate and topography that begs to be explored and enjoyed. In this pleasant region, join cyclists and hikers in large numbers following a network of trails for year-round enjoyment.

Cycle coastal roads, over hills and through villages with a varied selection of routes. Enjoy the ski hill. In warmer months it becomes a downhill park, Vallåsen Bike Park, with a chairlift to get riders and their bicycles to the top. The Kattegattleden Trail offers a 242 mile (390 kilometer) journey running along the coast, from Helsingborg to Gothenburg. Mountain bikers have their pick of areas ranging from beginner to extreme. Hotels in Båstad offer many packages for bikers.

A number of areas are car-free for cyclists. Road and foot trips are also very popular, with specialized routes for photo-perfect villages, movie locations for film fans, superb beaches, exposure to the area’s history and plenty of shopping experiences. The iconic Swedish clog shoe was first made over 100 years ago at a store near Båstad. Buy a pair to take home or wear them immediately for their comfort.   

The area around Båstad is a golfer’s dream, with several challenging 18-hole courses to choose from. Ludvig Nobel, the older brother of Alfred, founded the Båstad Golf Club in 1930, making it Sweden’s second-oldest 18-hole course. Choose from stunning views that are almost distracting. Varied settings include one in the middle of an apple orchard.

Culture is very alive in Båstad, with a lively music scene and prominent filmmaking events. Look for statues scattered throughout the city or join a walking tour to make sure you don’t miss any pieces. With so much to see and do, Båstad is a good choice for active families and those who just want to enjoy its natural splendor.
