Family fun
The biggest playground of them all is the grand nature. A hike can be a big adventure and a lunch cooked over an open fire the best meal ever. Sleep outside in one of the many campsites in Dalsland and take a trip with a canoe. Åmål offers many fine beaches for long days by the shore. The Right of public access givs you the opportunity to explore nature.
Another favorite in the summer is the ice cream parlor at the marina. Be sure not to miss any of the events that take place during the summer. It´s not always easy to know what to do in a new town. Here are some suggestions for you and your family when you visit Åmål.
