Show on google maps

Dala, in The of High Coast of Sweden — a UNESCO World Heritage site — is part of the Gulf of Bothnia with its characteristic steep granite cliffs and rocky islands rising from the sea. The region is known for its unique and highly scenic land and seascape. Due to a combined process of glaciation and glacial retreat stemming from the last Ice Age 9,600 years ago, the once compacted land is now steeply climbing and dramatically reclaiming its right to vertical space.

The table is placed in Dala, just a 15 minutes’ drive from the city of Härnösand, a small village surrounded by spruce forests with an abundance of moose and other wildlife.

Booking will open soon.
