Käringön business association
Destination Käringön is operated by the Käringön Business Association, a collective of the island’s restaurants, accommodation providers, shops, and other local businesses.
Our ambition is to make it easy for you to discover everything Käringön has to offer, whether you are planning your visit, on your way here, or already enjoying your time on the island.
Through Destination Käringön, we bring together information, tips, and inspiration to help you make the most of your stay. At the same time, we work to support local businesses and promote Käringön as a vibrant and attractive destination throughout the year.
We hope this website will be a useful resource both before and during your visit – and that it gives you the opportunity to experience what makes Käringön such a special place.
A warm welcome to Käringön!
