A little introduction...
Where the river meets the sea
Here, where the river meets the sea, residents enjoy the water all year round. During the winter season, when the river is covered in ice, many take walks, go skiing, or ride kicksleds or snowmobiles out towards the sea, which is also frozen. Majestic white landscapes await.
Kalix Löjrom (Kalix bleak roe)
Kalix is scenically located where the mighty national river, originating from the Kebnekaise massif, meets the sea. In this meeting of fresh and salt water, the world’s largest brackish water archipelago is created, the condition for Kalix Löjrom, Sweden’s first food with a protected designation of origin. Just as drinking champagne in Champagne is a special experience, eating Kalix Löjrom in Kalix is unique.
Experience Kalix with all your senses
Kalix offers something for all senses. Crackling northern lights, creaking snow, lapping waves, and the Eurasian curlew. Northern lights and midnight sun, sparkling white expanses and clear blue skies and seas. Soft, warm sandy beaches, autumn’s high, clear air, and the warming rays of the spring sun on winter-pale skin. The unique taste of cloudberries tempts directly in the mouth.
