Many companies are flying to Sweden and the major cities like Stockholm, Malmö and Göteborg. For travelling to Backe the best option is perhaps to fly to Stockholm and then travel by rented car, train or bus to either Östersund or Sundsvall and then go from there to Backe. It is also possible to fly within Sweden, e.g. from Stockholm to Sundsvall although it is generally a more expensive option. Why not combine the travel with a short citybreak in Stockholm, Sundsvall or Östersund if you don´t feel like making the whole trip in a single day? Backe is also a good base point for people wanting to explore Lappland which is less than an hour away!
