🏍️ 12 - Innset - Strömsund

Worth the ~78-minute detour if you value mountain scenery and outdoor photo stops. Plan a short pull-off at a valley viewpoint or lake (for example near a DNT cabin or lake shore), spend 30–60 minutes photographing the landscape, stretching legs and enjoying the silence. It delivers a high-impact, authentic taste of Norwegian mountain highlands without needing a multi-hour hike. Skip it only if you’re on a very tight schedule or prefer to avoid narrow/gravel side roads.

If you have ~41 km/82 minutes spare, this is a worthwhile quick detour for motorcycle travelers who enjoy dramatic river scenery and short outdoor stops. You can park close to the viewpoint, take a 10–20 minute walk to the rapids and rock formations, and be back on the road without losing much time. Skip it only if you’re tightly scheduled or prefer longer cultural stops; otherwise it’s a pleasant, authentic Highland photo stop that complements the cross‑border wilderness theme.

Worth visiting only if you want a quick mountain-resort experience (coffee, views from the base/upper lift, a short stroll) or if you’re interested in ski culture. At ~29 km off-route and ~57 minutes extra, it’s a borderline detour for a motorcycle tour whose priorities are iconic, quick outdoor highlights. If your day allows a near-hour diversion and you enjoy alpine roads and a café stop, go for it. If you prefer more unique or nationally significant sights (UNESCO towns, major viewpoints) or need to minimize time off-route, skip this and favor more distinctive mountain vistas or a brief stop in Oppdal town instead.

Vålådalens fjällstation is a pleasant, photogenic mountain lodge and makes for a comfortable, scenic rest stop (coffee/food, quick photo, 20–45 minute stroll). However it is a regional-level attraction rather than a must-see landmark. Given the ~29 km/≈1‑hour detour from your route, skip it if you’re prioritizing strictly iconic, time‑efficient stops. Choose it if you want a relaxed pause in classic fjäll surroundings (or need food/comfort) — otherwise continue and save the detour for a stronger mountain viewpoint or town on your main route.

<strong>Water ski race</strong> - 62 km on water skis. From the harbour / Badhusparken in Östersund to Fröjdholmen. ... 4-12 July. Summer theater Arnljotspelen is perfomed at Arnljotlägdan on 4-12 July.

A perfect, practical and delicious fuel stop on a long mountain ride: artisan breads and strong coffee that taste like place. Not a gimmick, but a memorable local bakery with top-notch pastries and sandwiches made from regional ingredients — grab something to eat there and a loaf for the next leg through the fjälls. Must try: House sourdough loaf (or a sourdough sandwich made with local cured meats/cheeses) — buy a whole loaf to warm up in your saddlebag and it’ll taste even better on the road.

Great stop for motorcycle travellers who prioritise waterfront seclusion and stargazing — pitches sit close to the lake with easy shore access and a peaceful, small-camp atmosphere. If you want dramatic high-alpine vistas this isn't that — but for calm lake mornings, fishing, and quiet Nordic nights it's an excellent, rider-friendly base.

Solid choice for a motorcycle traveler who prioritizes mountain views, lakeside seclusion and stargazing. Expect rustic, well-situated pitches and short walks to quiet water — not a luxury resort, but a very rewarding stop for those who want a peaceful fjell atmosphere and easy access to fishing/hikes.

Stop for the view and the story: this is more than a snack break—it's a memorable, photo-ready slice of Norwegian history where you can enjoy a relaxed fika on the ramparts. Not fine dining, but a highly atmospheric, local-flavored pause on a long mountain-and-forest ride. Must try: A warm Norwegian vafler (waffle) with jam and a smear of brunost (brown cheese) alongside a strong coffee — classic, very local and perfectly suited to a cool highland ride.

Strong choice for a motorcycle tour seeking waterfront + mountain mood without the crowds — ideal if you value riverside calm, easy access from E14 and good stargazing.

Excellent choice for riders who prize waterfront and wilderness character without camping miles from the road. If you want dramatic water and a genuine mountain-highlands vibe with easy access and basic campground comforts, Ristafallet delivers; expect more people in high summer around the waterfall, but quiet, dark nights for stargazing once day visitors leave. Take care around the rapids when swimming and use the calmer river stretches for bathing or fishing.

Excellent choice for a motorcyclist who prizes waterfront access, mountain rim views and solitude — especially if you like fishing or long, quiet evenings under big northern skies. Facilities are straightforward and practical rather than luxurious, so come expecting basic comforts, gravel parking and a rustic, angler-focused atmosphere; bring good bike security and windproof camping gear for the nights.

Short, punchy stop: park, follow the brief path to viewing platforms and feel the rumble of Sweden’s largest waterfall. Great quick photo-op and a memorable sensory break on a long ride — winter ice columns are a showstopper.

Great pick for riders who prize waterfront and a secluded, nature-first experience — especially anglers and anyone who wants dark skies for stargazing.

A perfect quick, quirky stop — pull off for a short walk to see ancient elk (moose) rock carvings etched into the fjäll bedrock. It’s a compact, photo-ready slice of deep history that pairs well with coffee/fika in nearby villages and adds a memorable cultural beat to a long mountain ride.

A must-do quick stop for riders who want a truly Nordic, slightly surreal photo op: stand next to a full-size moose, hand-feed or photograph them, grab a quirky souvenir and be back on the road in under 30 minutes. Great for a memorable story and a unique contrast to the wild highland landscapes on your route.

A very good, motorcycle-friendly stop if you prize waterfront pitches, quiet forested setting and dark skies for stargazing. It’s not a high-alpine lookout, but the immediate river access, level parking and proximity to the E45 make it an excellent overnight on a longer Norway–Sweden mountain highlands ride.

Pull off for a quick fika and a photo — a kitschy American cowboy–style café plonked in the Swedish forest makes for an amusing, memorable 20-minute stop on a long ride. Great for coffee, cake and that ‘did-you-see-that?’ snapshot to show friends back home.

Bøasæterbakken 13, 7340 Oppdal, Norway Rating: 4.6/5 (112 reviews)

Good pick for riders who want a quiet riverside stop with easy access to the E6 and scenic valley riding.

A compact, characterful mountain 'støl' stop — quick photo of rustic buildings and pasture, a short wander, and a chance to grab local fika or goodies. Great for a 15–30 minute break to stretch, savor mountain-air vibes, and collect a memorable rural-Norway snapshot without a long detour.

Good as a base camp on a motorcycle run through the Trøndelag highlands: you get honest mountain views, easy logistics (fuel, food, E6 access) and dark-enough nights for stargazing. If your trip priority is true waterfront or deep wilderness seclusion, plan a short side-trip to nearby rivers/lakes or push further into the fjälls; otherwise Halsetløkka is a comfortable, scenic stop on the Innset–Strömsund leg.

A compact, eerie patch of ancient burial mounds and stone settings right off the road — perfect for a 15–30 minute stretch, a few atmospheric photos and a quick dose of local prehistory to break up a long ride.

A dependable, characterful highway inn — perfect for a quick coffee/waffle or a simple local meal, stretching your legs and enjoying classic Norwegian 'veikro' vibes before you cross the mountain plateau.

If your priorities are waterfront, solitude and easy access to water, Tråsåvika is a strong, convenient choice on this cross-border route — small cabins right on the fjord make for an easy, restorative stop. If you’re chasing dramatic mountain vistas, consider pairing this stay with a higher-elevation stop; but for serene fjord evenings, fishing off the jetty and star-filled nights, it’s well suited to motorcycle travelers.

Easy roadside detour to a small headland with open fjord views — a perfect 15–30 minute motorcycle stop for photos, a quick fika and to stretch your legs before the long run toward Strömsund.

Stop here for a reliably pleasant, regionally-rooted meal on a long ride through Trøndelag. Naboen is the kind of place that gives you a taste of Norwegian home-cooking and local game/fish without fuss — an honest, convenient stop that pairs well with a day of mountain roads and border highlands. It’s not a wild theme-restaurant, but it’s memorable for its local character and approachable atmosphere. Must try: Local venison (elg) — typically served pan-seared or braised with juniper and root vegetables; a good showcase of inland Norwegian game and the region’s flavors.

Quick photo-stop: ride up, park nearby, walk across the iconic red portals for framed views of Nidelva and the colorful wooden houses of Bakklandet — perfect for a 10-minute visual story and a coffee break in a nearby café.

Good choice if your priorities are waterfront access, quiet nights and stargazing rather than sweeping mountain vistas. Selbu Camping is a practical, pleasant lakeside stop with cabins and level pitches ideal for motorcycle travelers who value a peaceful setting and access to fishing, swimming and local rural culture. If you’re after dramatic alpine views, plan to continue higher into the Scandinavian Mountains — but for a restful, authentic Nordic lakeside night this is a solid pick.

This is a strong choice if your priorities are waterfront, peaceful evenings and easy access from the road on a Norway–Sweden route. If you’re chasing towering mountain passes, it won’t satisfy that craving — but for shoreline sunsets, fishing/shore walks and low-light stargazing in a quiet rural spot, it’s an excellent, motorcycle-friendly stop.

A short, loud detour: park, stroll the easy path and get up close to a dramatic cascade — excellent for a quick photo, a breather and a change of scenery on a long ride between Innset and Strömsund.

Great pick if your priority is mountain views, alpine access, and quiet nights for stargazing — with the convenience of cabins and nearby village services. If a true waterfront campsite is a hard requirement, this site won’t meet that need directly; expect to ride a short distance to reach the nearest lake or river.

Good for a short, energising pit stop — stretch your legs, grab a coffee/fika, snap photos of the highland setting and eyeball the rope courses and ziplines. If you’ve got extra time and booked in advance, the park’s activities turn it into a half-day adrenaline break; otherwise it’s a pleasant 15–30 minute diversion on a long ride.

A cozy, quick fika stop in the little border village of Storlien — grab a coffee and a local pastry, warm up, and snap a photo of the charming ski‑village street. Perfect 15–30 minute pit stop for riders crossing the mountain highlands.

Good stop for motorcyclists who prioritise peaceful, water-near and stargazing-friendly countryside with mountain vistas in the distance. If you want direct beachfront or dramatic close-up alpine views, this won’t deliver that — but as a secluded, low-light base to explore Jämtland/Åre country and nearby lakes it’s a solid choice. Confirm exact on-site waterfront access and secure long-term bike storage with the campground before arrival.

Stop for the setting as much as the food: Åre pairs memorable mountain views and historic ski-village character with a range of regional dishes.

Great as an overnight or short stay for motorcycle travelers who prize waterfront camping, canoe access and peaceful, low-key nature.

A quick, low-effort stop that packs history and a view: park near the church, snap the handsome timber/stone exterior, check the nearby Frösö Runestone (the northernmost runestone in Sweden), and take in the sweeping panorama over Lake Storsjön and Östersund.

A highly local, low-key stop that’s perfect for motorcycle travellers who want more than a convenience-store coffee: atmospheric heritage grounds, homemade fika and a chance to sample Jämtland village life. It’s not fine dining, but it’s memorable — a true roadside culture stop where you can sip good coffee, eat home-baked goods, see historic buildings and ask about local game dishes or reindeer specialties if they’re on the menu. Must try: A proper fika: strong Swedish coffee with a freshly baked cardamom or cinnamon bun (kardemummabulle / kanelbulle) and a slice of homemade cake — the simplest, most local reward after a long mountain ride.

Good choice for riders prioritizing waterfront, quiet evenings and stargazing rather than high mountain panoramas. Expect simple, well-kept Nordic camping facilities, shoreline access for a paddle or trout fishing, and an easy launch point to continue north into the Jämtland highlands — not the place for alpine vistas, but excellent for relaxed lakeside nights and minimal light pollution.

Solid choice for a motorcycle traveler who prioritizes waterfront, seclusion and stargazing rather than dramatic alpine vistas. Flåsjöstrands is restful and scenic on the lake, with easy water access and good night skies — ideal for a peaceful overnight or a 1–2 night stop to fish, swim and sleep under the stars. If you need alpine panoramas or resort-style services, plan an additional stop in Åre/Östersund or higher up in the fjälls.

Good choice for riders who want reliable waterfront camping near Trondheim and an easy, scenic stop on a longer route. If your priorities are dramatic mountain views, extreme seclusion, or pristine dark-sky stargazing, plan to continue inland into the Scandinavian highlands (toward Innset/Åre/Jämtland) — Flakk is pleasant and convenient, but more coastal than alpine.

Short, visually rewarding stop — park your bike nearby, stroll up to the ornate Gothic façade for a few wide-angle photos, step inside for a quick look at the nave and crypt if time allows, then grab a coffee in the nearby city centre. Skip formal tours or the crown-jewels exhibit if you need to keep rolling.

Good choice for riders who want easy, waterfront camping close to services — quick to reach and pleasant for an overnight or a couple of nights. If your priorities are secluded alpine panoramas and exceptional stargazing, this site is convenient but not ideal; head further inland into the Scandinavian mountains or deeper Jämtland highlands for remote, high-mountain campsites and darker skies.

Respectful, memorable, and very different from usual sightseeing.

If you want a compact, cinematic history stop with strong storytelling, pull in for Hegra. You can do a quick 15–30 min photo-and-exterior look, but the true mood—and the tunnels, bunkers and artifacts—take ~1–2 hours.
