Welcome to Sweden's sunniest city
Sunshine, water and Värmland's hospitality - where Sweden's longest river meets the EU’s largest lake, you will find the Karlstad region. The connection to the sun is strong, Karlstad has long been in the top tier among cities with the most hours of sunshine and here lived and worked the innkeeper Eva-Lisa Holtz (1739–1818) - better known as Sola (The Sun) in Karlstad. Askås thrives really well in Karlstad and if you want to be part of our gang in here, we will do everything to make you feel welcome too.
