Services and shops



Gafsele Lappland Hostel lies in the village Gafsele, on the banks of the river Ångermanälven strand, and near endless forests. The river offers opportunities for fishing, swimming and båting. The forests are a paradise for hikers, hunters, driving snowmobiles and cross country skiing. We frequently enjoy the Northern lights and magnificent blue skies.

 

The hostel is a former missionary school which was founded 1842. It's purpose was to improve education and live of the Sami children. When it closed in 2003 it had been a community school for quite some time. We have a permanent exposition about the schools history and stories.

There are a lot of historic  buildings and sites in the environment.
