Moving to Norrland

Moving to a new place is always a big change and an adventure filled with expectations. Moving to Norrland opens a door to a world with unique nature, different climate conditions and a different lifestyle compared to the south of Sweden. This is a comprehensive guide to help you understand what moving to Norrland entails, the preparations you need to make, and how Flytt & Städfix can facilitate your transition to this beautiful and unique area of Sweden.

Norrland's unique landscape

Norrland, Sweden's northernmost and largest region, covers almost 59% of the country's area but is home to only 11.4% of the population. This sparsely populated area offers a chance for a quieter life close to nature. Norrland is divided into nine regions: Gästrikland, Hälsingland, Härjedalen, Jämtland, Medelpad, Ångermanland, Västerbotten, Norrbotten and Lapland, each with its own unique charm and culture.

The vast landscape of Norrland with its forests, mountains, rivers, marshes and lakes is a nature lover's paradise. Abisko, Sarek and Stora Sjöfallet National Parks offer endless opportunities for hiking, skiing and other outdoor activities. The colder climate and the fact that sunshine hours are fewer the further north you go, adds another dimension to the unique charm of Norrland.

Lifestyle in Norrland

Moving to Norrland may require some lifestyle adjustments, especially if you come from a more urban environment. Climate is one of the most significant differences. Autumn and winter arrive earlier here, and temperatures of -20 to -30 degrees Celsius are not uncommon during the winter months. Despite the cold air, the humidity is lower in Norrland which can make the cold less biting compared to southern Sweden.

Culturally, Norrland is less hectic than larger cities like Stockholm and Gothenburg. There may be fewer museums, theaters and restaurants, but the rich nature that surrounds you makes up for it. The job market may be less dynamic, and the public transport system is not as developed, so having access to a car may be a necessity.

Economic considerations

The cost of living in Norrland can be lower than in southern Sweden, which is an advantage for many people moving here. Prices for housing, food and other necessities are generally lower, which can contribute to a better quality of life.

However, prices near major cities such as Umeå and Luleå may be higher. In addition, the lower availability of services and job opportunities can be an economic challenge. It is therefore important to carefully consider your financial situation and plan ahead before deciding to move to the North.
