Here are just a few of all the activities you can access from Käringsund:
Soccer
Each year there are a few soccer cups on Åland, where Alandia Cup is one of the largest ones. You will have a good nights sleep in Käringsund, and wake up to a large lawn next to the cottages where you can warm up and practice techniques, or take a short walk to Eckeröhallen that contains a full size artificial turf pitch (101 x 62 m) . With only a 30 minute busride, you will fast and easily travel to Mariehamn where the cup takes place.

Golf
If you love golf, there are two good alternatives on Åland. Only 6 km from Käringsund Resort, you will find Eckerö Golf. The course is alongside the Eckerö main road and consists of 18 new holes in a beautiful environment. The course is lined with lots of trees and greenery, and all the sand traps and ponds make the course both interesting and challenging.
If you prefer golf in a historic setting with a view of an old castle, and with beautiful nature all around, the Ålands Golfklubb is barely 40 km drive away. With the two 18 hole courses, Slottsbanan and Kungsbanan, and the bonus course Prinsessan you have many options. During 2019 the Slottsbanan course has been renovated and is planned to open during the summer of 2020.
Miniature golf
We have a modern competitive course in good condition, where large groups yearly comes to play their tournaments. Among families, this is a very popular activity, especially since you can enjoy an icecream from our kiosk during the game.

Our court is very popular among our yearly returning pétanque clubs, and they keep their members active during their tournaments. In Eckeröhallen you can also play pétanque during the winter or when there’s bad weather outside.

You can both have long exercise runs on trial- or racer bike on our well maintenanced country roads, or go for a ride with your family on small, charming gravel roads in beautiful nature. We also have a brand new, 3 km long MTB-track in fairly easy forest terrain that we think will be well visited by our guests!
