Here you can rent roof tents in Östersund
Many people from Östersund probably recognize Pär Sandström, or at least his voice, from Östersund FK's matches where he is the announcer at home games. This summer he will also rent out roof tents. We took the opportunity to ask him a few questions.
• How come you started renting out roof tents?
I have been interested in roof tents for a long time and last summer I thought about renting a roof tent to try it out, but realized that there was no place in Östersund that rented them out. I then contacted Taktältarna in Åre to check the possibility of becoming the one who rents out in Östersund myself. And that's how it happened…
• Tell us a little about yourself, who are you?
My name is Pär, I am 50 years old and was born and raised in Östersund. I currently work as a salesperson for Arla. Otherwise, I am an outdoor person who likes to hunt, fish and simply be out in nature. Preferably in front of a fire with a pot of coffee simmering on top.
• What are your expectations for the summer?
The summer will be great! Regardless of the weather, there will always be a wonderful place to pitch your roof tent to enjoy – either the sound of rain pattering on the roof, or a fantastic sunset over the mountains. Simply love the weather!
• Do you have any tips on good destinations for those renting roof tents in Östersund?
The mountain world is of course a safe bet, but I will answer eastern Jämtland.
The mountain world is of course a safe bet, but I will answer eastern Jämtland.
Imagine how many miles of forest roads with associated small lakes and ponds are there. Usually without any traffic nearby either. Try it, you will not regret it.
• Where would you personally prefer to go on a roof tent holiday?
Lofoten! It has been a dream destination for many years but I have not made it there yet. Imagine waking up and looking out over the Norwegian Sea on an early summer morning. Maybe, maybe it is time this year.
