Mattmar

Those vacationers who have more time in Jamtland can take their explorations a little further explore other spots in the vicinity. Some interesting places within a relatively short distance of Mattmar are Undersaker, 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the east, and Ostersund, 25 miles (40 kilometers) to the west.

Ostersund, is another good place to discover. It is 25 miles (40 kilometers) from Mattmar and offers a wide range of points of interest, including Storsjobadet Water Park, Froso Zoo and Froso Church. Be sure not to return to Mattmar until you've visited Ostersund's Ostersund Town Hall, Badhusparken and Jamtli.

One of the best ways to get to know a spot is by discovering its history. So be sure to visit the traditional villages while you are in the area.

If you are happy to feel the tickle of snowflakes upon your skin, Jamtland may just be an excellent holiday destination. This area offers some terrific opportunities for snowboarding and cross-country skiing.

Truly interact with the people who live in Sweden by getting familiar with their language. "Vill du dansa med mig?" is the Swedish way to say "Would you like to dance with me?" Yet another useful example is "Varifrån kommer du?" (Where are you from?).

You won't want to bid "Hej då" (farewell) to this appealing part of the world.
