Kallsjön, Deep glacial lake in Jämtland, Sweden

Description

Kallsjön is a deep glacial lake in Jämtland with a maximum depth of about 134 meters and significant freshwater volume. The water is surrounded by dense forests, with several natural shoreline areas accessible to visitors.

History

The lake formed through glacial erosion during the last ice age, when moving glaciers shaped the land. This ancient geological process created the landscape structure visible today.

Culture

The lake serves as a gathering place for water sports enthusiasts throughout the year, drawing people who come to fish, swim, and surf. The wooded shoreline provides several access points for visitors to reach the water.

Practical

The southern shoreline is most accessible with several entry points for different activities. The best conditions for water sports occur during north to north-northwest winds, especially in winter months.

Did you know?

The water remains open well past early January, allowing for surfing when specific wind patterns generate shoulder-high waves. This winter surfing opportunity is rare in this region and draws specialized athletes.
