In Arvika creativity flows. Here musicians, artists and craftsmen have lived and worked side by side, since the turn of the century before last - and still do! In Arvika cultural events succeed one another. We offer activities suited for all interests as well as a varied range of outdoor life in our magnificent forests or by one of our 365 lakes. Welcome to us, in the heart of Värmland!
Whether you are looking for adventure or something pieceful, you can find it in Arvika. The vast forests and lakes provide fantastic opportunities for hiking, fishing and canoeing. Try the high ropes course or geocaching in the forest and if you want to see elks, join the safari!
