Fjällbacka is a small fishing village in Tanum. The resort takes its name from the large rock mountain that characterizes the village. The old Fjällbacka turns beneath the mountain to the sea, while the newer buildings located on the fields towards land and on the mountains. Offshore, Fjällbacka archipelago rests and all the way out to the west is the Weather Islands located.  

In this one hour guided walking tour you’ll listen to your local guide with passion for telling the tale of this beautiful village that has enchanted people from all over the world for more than 60 years.

All visitors walking here notice the granite stonework of local stone cutters, literally walking on the stones that has been grounded by feets for over a hundred years.
