Ammarnäs - vivid and remote

A flyfisherman´s dream. Ammarnäs is the gate to the Vindel mountains with marvelous fishing and one of Europe´s largest protected natural areas. Ammarnäs is a small village in the north-west of Swedish Lapland. Rivers Tjulån and Vindelälven meet here. The Vindel Mountains is a pristine fishing paradise. Here, you find the famous big migrating Ammarnäs brown trout, grayling, trout arctic char and pike. Explore rivers or countless lakes and creeks, close to the lodge and far up in the mountains.

We offer accommodation, guides, meals, gear and really exciting helicopter fly outs to exclusive waters in the mountains, in cooperation with the local Sami communities. Fish waters that are hardly fished at all with us. Or why not get a stretch of Vindelälven to yourself for a few days? Ammarnäs differs from our other Lapland destination, Tjuonajokk, mainly because you can reach Ammarnäs by car, and you stay a bit closer to civilization. Fish, stay, eat and enjoy life with us in Ammarnäs!
