How we work on accessibility
Geopark Indalsälven is meant to be a destination that allows access to as many people as possible and we are continuously working on improvements. These efforts are undertaken in consultation with functionally impaired representatives.
If you have any questions before your visit or ideas on how we could improve accessibility in the geopark please send us an email to info@geoparkindalsalven.se. We are also grateful for suggestions on how this website can be made more accessible.
