Epic Weekend - elevate your weekend!
Aromatic delights and breathtaking views
Warmly welcome to Gävle! Dive straight in and set the tone for your weekend in Gävle. Start the weekend with some culinary highlights regarding scents and flavors that take Friday to the next level. Enjoy panoramic views of Gävle from various perspectives.
Gravity creates the water of life
Sweden's first malt whisky producer celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2024! It's celebrated all year round. During your visit, you can experience the production in one of the world's highest distilleries, standing at 37 meters above ground. Discover the art of creating exclusive Swedish whisky and indulge in the exquisite creations.
Enjoy dinner with views
With a panoramic view of the city and Gavleån's meeting with the sea, it's time for dinner. Here, 41 meters above ground, you can enjoy the sunset and watch as Gävle's newest neighborhoods emerge and turn towards the sea. Lean back and take in all the impressions of the day.
Stuccoes and high ceilings
After dinner, it's perfect for an evening stroll along Gavleån to the hotel. Here, in the historic building from 1901, you'll sleep soundly throughout your weekend. Relax, recharge, and enjoy the breakfast buffet in the restaurant, carefully restored to provide the same experience as when it was newly built around the turn of the last century.
Challenging heights and enjoyable flavors
Good morning! Get ready for a packed day of experiences and adventures. Some will surely challenge and create butterflies in the stomach. Others will ensure your stomach doesn't growl.
Take your swedish fika to new heights
Before you step inside, take a look at the beautiful building next to Rådhusesplanaden. This is one of Gävle's palaces from the 1890s, aptly named the Gevalia Palace. Perhaps you'll have a sourdough bun, the homemade gelato, or something entirely different with your delicious coffee.
Dizzying experience among the treetops
Which course will be your favorite? Perhaps "For Real?" located a whopping 16 meters above ground. Here awaits a three-hour adventure journey among the treetops. Whatever height you choose, a thrill in the stomach is promised as you create your own adventure! Climb through nets, balance on seesaws, and of course - glide along the zip line!
Breathtaking view towards the horizon
Walk out onto the open cliffs and slopes 20 meters above the sea, enjoy the unique environment, and magnificent views at the site between the old fishing villages Bönan and Utvalnäs. Gråberget being a military protected area until 1997 has strongly contributed to the area maintaining high natural values and not being developed.
Outstanding dinner at a Bistro
The warm light radiates, creating anticipation long before the doors open. Inside, you're greeted by a Nordic atmosphere and a welcoming feeling. In the wine cellar, there are French wines and an impressive collection. The food is simple yet refined, with seasonal ingredients carefully selected. "Very good class" is the rating from the White Guide.
Cultural experience and Sunday fitness
No rest for the wicked, Sunday doesn't want to create any dull moments. The highlights continue with visits to museums and a final rush for the body as the conclusion of your epic weekend in Gävle!
Arrival for an outstanding experience
We've been longing for this! In the summer of 2024, the museum reopens after extensive renovation. Some real highlights to discover await! Explore lots of fun and exciting things. There's something for the whole family to enjoy. So - take a seat, take a seat!
Bike with flow down the mountain
Take the Kungs8an up to the top for a 200-meter descent and fantastic scenery along the way down. Flow trails offer smooth and delightful cycling suitable for everyone. Start the adventure already in the lift and then continue exploring trails suitable for different skill levels. Choose the level that gives you a real thrill for an adrenaline rush!
