Within walking distance to Eckeröhallen and Åland Curling, it’s easy and quick to move between your accommodation and your activity. Below is a selection of what we can offer!

Psst, several sports competitions are also organized each year, the most of them located in Käringsund. 

Take a closer look at the competitions here!

Football
Several football tournaments are arranged annually in Åland, with Alandia Cup being one of the largest. Stay comfortably in Käringsund, with a large, well-maintained lawn next to the cottages where you can warm up and practice technique, or take a short walk to Eckeröhallen, which features a full-size artificial turf field (101 x 62 m) by Saltex. A 30-minute bus ride takes you quickly to Mariehamn where the cup is held.

Ball Sports
Eckeröhallen also features a 2000 m² mobile floor covered with Tarkett Omnisport Elite sports surface. The surface is suitable for all ball sports, such as handball, floorball, volleyball, and badminton.

The sports floor includes for example: 
1 full-size floorball court (20x40 m)
2 full-size handball courts (20x40 m)

At Käringsund Resort & Conference you'll find a beach volley court that can be freely used by all our guests. You can borrow a ball for deposit at the reception. 

Athletics
Eckeröhallen also includes a jumping and throwing area (70 x 15 m) for high jump, long jump, triple jump, shot put, and discus. Along the hall’s long sides are four 110-meter running lanes. All athletics areas are covered with 13 mm Sprintan SW.

Tennis & Padel
On our own grounds, we have a tennis court and a padel court. If you don’t have your own gear, you can of course rent it from us. Book and pay for both courts easily via Matchi.

In Idrottsparken in central Mariehamn, the club has three Plexipave courts open from May to October. Nearby there are many other sports options such as two artificial turf football fields, athletics facilities, an ice rink, and an outdoor gym.

Gym
Enjoy our on-site gym that is located in the reception building. Free to use for our guests! There's also an outdoor gym for those of you who prefer training under the sun. 

Golf
If you love golf, there are two great options in Åland. Just 6 km from Käringsund is Eckerö Golf. The course lies along Eckerövägen and features 18 scenic forest holes, with bunkers and ponds making it both interesting and challenging.

Prefer golf in a historical setting? Then Ålands Golfklubb is for you, located about 40 km away. With two 18-hole courses — Slottsbanan (Castle Course) and Kungsbanan (King's course)— plus a short-hole course called Prinsessan, you have many options to choose from. 

Minigolf
We have a modern, well-maintained minigolf course that annually hosts group tournaments. It’s also a family favorite — especially with an ice cream from our kiosk while you play.

Boule
Käringsund Resort has an 18 x 40 meter boule court with a hard, gently sloping surface. It’s a favorite among clubs that return year after year to host tournaments. In winter or bad weather, you can also play boule in Eckeröhallen.

Cycling
You can choose between riding long training passes on our beautiful country roads, or riding a bicycle with your whole family on small, charming bridle roads in the beautiful nature. We even have a 3-km long gently sloping MTB-track in our Activity Forest! If you don't have your own bicycle with you, you can rent bikes, mountain bikes, and children's bikes from us. We also have bike seats and bike trailers for children. 

Running & hiking
Åland offers you a nearly endless amount of choices with approximatelly 1000 km of country roads and big forest areas with scenic paths and roads. We are happy to recommend nice running tracks and routes that suit you best. Both Semesterloppet (holiday running event for whole family) and hiking trail Träsket with ancient burial mounds start close by our resort. 

Swimming
For those of you who enjoys open water swimming, Käringsund offers great training opportunities, as well as introduction and courses. If you prefer swimming in a pool, it will take you approximately 30-40 minutes by car or bus to Ålands Sports Center in Godby or Mariebad Spa in Mariehamn. 

Kayaking
Åland consists of more than 6500 islands and rocks, with beautiful bays, lakes, the sea and limitless surfaces for kayaking. Whether you want to organize a training camp or just enjoy the calmness of the sea, we are happy to suggest you a package that suits your wishes. We have kayaks, canoes and SUP boards to rent, but please remember to book them in advance when coming with a big group to ensure the avaibility. Our junior kayaks are also popular among families with children during the summer season. 

There's of course a variety of other sports, sports halls and opportunities on Åland so don't hesitate to contact us with any questions or wishes!
