Why a cabin works for Vindelälvsdraget
Vindelälvsdraget runs from 5 to 7 March 2027, organised by Umeå Brukshundklubb together with VIKOM, a partnership between Sorsele, Lycksele, Vindeln and Vännäs. It starts in Ammarnäs on the Friday and finishes in Hällnäs on the Sunday.
Let us be blunt: there are almost no cabins to rent along the route. We find 5 within 10 km of Ammarnäs and 20 within 50 km, and Sorsele and Vindeln look the same. If you own a house in one of the villages along the river, this is a weekend worth renting it out, because the demand is there and the beds are not.
