Waimea Canyon offers beautiful views of the nearby Ni'ihau Island. There are also picnic areas and a short nature trail. Adjacent to the Canyon is a forest reserve featuring a rather arduous hike to and from the Canyon.

If you only want to visit one museum when visiting Östersund and Jämtland, then choose the Jamtli. During the summer months, you can meet people from the past and experience the local culture up close. In winter, the museum transforms into a traditional Christmas market. Jamtli also hosts a unique underground exhibition that intricately narrates the history of Norrland. Among its treasures is the Överhogdal hangings, a 1000-year-old textile picture, Europe’s oldest and best-preserved. Awarded with three stars by Guide Michelin, Jamtli promises a captivating journey through time and culture.

At the Museum of Cultural History, visitors will find a vast collection of artefacts that span Norwegian history, tracing back from the Ice Age to the era of Christianity. With a particular emphasis on the Viking period and the Middle Ages, it comprehensively explores these significant chapters. On the upper floors, visitors can immerse themselves in an ethnographic museum that showcases rotating exhibitions, offering a glimpse into diverse cultures and traditions.
