A stay with extra attention

Time to step out — at your own pace.

Sometimes life asks for a pause. A few days, a longer stay, or a stretch of time without a plan. At Norra Vilan there's space for exactly that — calm, nature, and someone close by if you'd like to talk or share an activity.

Who it's for

·Anyone consciously looking for calm, space and time outdoors.
·People going through a specific moment in life and wanting to step away from it for a while.
·Anyone who simply wants an outdoor adventure — to head into the forest together, train, or push themselves a bit. No particular reason needed.
·Those who want to come for a small programme — or for nothing at all.
·First responders, healthcare workers and others who carry weight from their work and need a softer place to land.
·People going through a particular life event — such as a loss, a divorce or a similar situation.

What we offer

A quiet stay

A comfortable apartment or a peaceful camping pitch in the Swedish forest. You set the rhythm of your days.

Activities — alone or together

Hike, kayak, cycle or simply walk in the woods. On your own, or together with Rens if you'd like the company.

Outdoor adventure with extra attention

Want to head into the forest together, train, or take on a longer hike or kayak trip? We'll plan it together — at your level, with attention for what you're looking for.

Room for a conversation

If it helps to talk — about anything, big or small — there's space for that too. No pressure, no agenda.

Tailored to you

A few days or a longer stay. We discuss together what you're looking for and what would suit you best.

Why we do this

I'm Rens. Before we started Norra Vilan I worked in the police force and was part of the Team Collegial Support — supporting colleagues after intense events at work. That experience shaped how we welcome people here: with attention, respect and without judgement. Norra Vilan is a place where you're allowed to be alone, but never have to be on your own.
