Boundless Horizons

In Eda Municipality, you can truly live in the countryside – on a picturesque farm or in a residential area in one of the towns: Charlottenberg, Åmotfors, or Koppom. Housing prices are generally low. You might find an abandoned house ready for careful renovation, or build something ultra-modern from scratch. Maybe this is where you’ll make your dream home come true. The municipality offers ready-to-build plots and properties. There are good and cozy schools, often with smaller class sizes, and the residential areas are safe and welcoming.

All the Opportunities for Outdoor Life

In Eda, nature is always your closest neighbor, with beautiful hiking trails, lakes, and rivers for swimming, paddling, and fishing. The ski slope Valfjället has southern Sweden’s highest vertical drop, and many consider Eda Golf Course one of the most beautiful in Sweden. Add football fields, an ice rink, riding school, shooting ranges, motor stadium, padel court, pump track, bowling, and a cultural school offering dance, music, and art.

The municipality is characterized by a rich community life. A swimming pool and more activities are available in neighboring municipalities. Libraries are located in the towns, and there’s a cinema at Folkets Hus. At the local heritage centers, you can celebrate Midsummer, visit Christmas markets, enjoy crafts, and have a traditional Swedish fika.

The local business community is a mix of stable manufacturing industries and retail. Eda’s proximity to the Norwegian market makes it an attractive municipality for business establishments. As an entrepreneur, you can benefit from the many Norwegian visitors who cross the border every day. Maybe you’ll be the one to start a play center, a water park, or the next cozy café – or perhaps you have an idea within green industries or nature tourism?

Charlottenberg is more centrally located than many realize – the distance to both Karlstad and downtown Oslo, as well as Oslo’s international airport, is about 110 kilometers. You can travel smoothly to and from the area by car, bus, or train.

The municipality offers employment in areas such as healthcare and social services, education, urban planning, waste management, environmental supervision, and culture. Eda is a small municipality, which naturally fosters close collaboration between departments, with short decision-making paths and great opportunities for employees to grow and make an impact.
