The Gateway to Dalsland
A Sweden in miniature, just around the corner
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.
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.
