Guide to Sundsvall

An industrial powerhouse, Sundsvall is 395km north of Stockholm, has a port by the Gulf of Bothnia and has been a major centre for forestry and timber for centuries. The fire which devastated the city in 1888 was Sweden’s most serious but meant that the resurrected Sundsvall was built to last (and from solid stone rather than wood). Banking, insurance and telecommunications today join traditional trades in its industrial mix, and it hosts the main campus of the Mid Sweden University.

History of Sundsvall

As stated, drive an hour and a half north to Höga Kusten and you can hike around the dramatic granite cliffs which characterise this coastline, while if you’re a snowsports fan visiting in winter you can take your pick from several ski and snowboard stations a short hop from the city centre.
