Grytans skjutfält, Military shooting range in Östersund Municipality, Sweden

Grytans skjutfält is a military training ground located 15 kilometers south of Östersund with multiple zones dedicated to different types of weapons practice. The facility spreads across large grounds with specialized infrastructure designed to support various forms of artillery and firearms training.

Grytans skjutfält was established on state land at the end of the 19th century and expanded as artillery ranges grew. It served as the main training and shooting range of Norrlands artilleriregemente (A 4) from 1894 to 1997, when Jämtlands fältjägarregemente (I 5) took over. From January to October 1942 the camp held communist agitators and troublesome conscripts as an internment camp. After I 5 was disbanded, Norrbottens regemente (I 19) administered the range.

The camp area covers 40 hectares and holds 27 buildings, not 30; Östersunds kommun bought it on 26 May 2020 from Grytan Invest AB for 14.5 million kronor, including a hotel. Fortifikationsverket had sold the same area for 2.5 million kronor. The municipality then approved reselling it to Fortifikationsverket for 15 million kronor, with handover on 1 September 2021.

The land contains unexploded ammunition from decades of military exercises, requiring careful management and restricted access in many areas. Visitors should be aware that large sections remain closed to the public due to these ongoing safety precautions.

The camp held a work company and internment camp for communist agitators and troublesome conscripts from January to October 1942. In 2020 Östersunds kommun bought the 40-hectare camp area with 27 buildings, including a hotel, for 14.5 million kronor; Fortifikationsverket had sold it for 2.5 million.
