Winter
Make “kolbullar” – we tell you how! – and cook cooffe over open fire. Stay home at the village or down at the lake. Torpet´s own sauna is located in the dark wooded area. A cold night, with candles inside the sauna, and the stars in the sky outside, perhaps with a northern lights. It´s truly an experience!
Stroll, go skiing, pimple, rent snow shoes, borrow the old wooden skis for a fun ride, bring the snowmobile and take a ride from the farm out in the hilly terrain.
Or, just sit inside and in front of the fire.
