Ulvön is often called the pearl of the High Coast, and once you arrive, it is easy to see why. This small island in the Gulf of Bothnia feels like stepping into another world. It is quiet, timeless and full of charm.

A village frozen in time

Ulvön has a rich fishing heritage. The harbor is lined with classic red boathouses, and the wooden paths lead you through a village that has barely changed in decades. It is peaceful in the way only islands can be.

What makes Ulvön special

One of the most unique things about Ulvön is its authentic atmosphere. The island feels untouched by modern tourism. It is calm, real and welcoming. From the hills above the village, you get breathtaking views over the sea and surrounding islands. There are beautiful trails that take you through forests, past cliffs and down to hidden beaches. And the food is unforgettable. Do not miss trying surströmming, the traditional fermented herring that originated right here.

The perfect escape

There is something about Ulvön that stays with you. Maybe it is the way the sun sets slowly over the water, or how the silence wraps around you at night. It is the kind of place where you lose track of time in the best possible way.

How to get there

You can take a ferry from Ullånger or Docksta during summer. Some routes offer day trips, while others allow you to stay overnight. It is best to visit during the warmer months when the island is fully open and the weather is mild.
