Blattnicksele: Fishing, the Vindelälven and cross-country skiing

Discover Blattnicksele through the Vindelälven and its cross-country ski trails. This gives you two different focuses for planning a trip: fishing and boat rentals at the campsite, or trails of varying lengths. A shorter cross-country skiing loop is about 1.8 km, while longer routes are about 9–11 km. The beach at the campsite and the option to get off the Inlandsbanan train in Blattnicksele also provide practical guidance.

Vindelälven: fishing and boat rentals

Blattnicksele Camping is on a sandy peninsula surrounded by the Vindelälven. The river flows past the campsite and offers opportunities to fish for trout, grayling, perch, whitefish and pike. This places the fishing in a specific river and landscape setting.

Blattnicksele Camping offers guided fishing trips for beginners and experienced anglers. Anyone considering a guided trip can find an offer expressly intended for both experience levels. The campsite also rents out boats for a minimum of two hours, as well as for a day or a week. The rental options therefore vary in duration—from a minimum of two hours to a full day or a week.

Cross-country skiing, ice fishing and the seasons

Several cross-country ski trails start at the illuminated training track, including a shorter loop of about 1.8 km. Blattnicksele also has longer trails of about 9–11 km, running through forest and across marshland. Comparing the distances lets you distinguish between a shorter loop and longer routes through forest and marshland.

Ice fishing is also possible in the area around Blattnicksele. Around Gargnäs and Blattnicksele, salmon fishing is possible later in the season, in August and September. For planning by season, ice fishing and a seasonally limited fishing option are presented as two distinct activities.

Beach and travel

Blattnicksele Strand, the beach at the campsite, can be reached from the E45: in Blattnicksele, turn left at the tennis court and continue to the campsite. This route leads directly from the specified turn-off to the beach at the campsite.

Passengers can get off the Inlandsbanan train in Blattnicksele if they inform the train staff in advance. Make sure to give notice before your journey. For travel planning, this gives both specific directions from the E45 and a condition for getting off the train.
