At Nord Bound, we believe that the best gear is the kind you’ll use for years, the kind that becomes part of your story, and maybe even gets passed down to your kids, shared with friends, or carried by a new traveller after you. These aren’t just things; they’re companions for the road ahead, made to last, to gather memories, and to be trusted time and time again.
But Nord Bound isn’t just about equipment. It’s also about creating a place where you can pause for a moment, to catch your breath, to share a story, or to plan your next story. We want to be a hub of information and inspiration, helping you discover more of Sweden and beyond. Not just the places you’ve seen on social media, but the hidden corners, quiet roads, and overlooked landscapes that make a journey truly special.
We are based in Bengtsfors, Sweden, right on the shores of Lake Lelång, a 60 km stretch of fjord-like water winding all the way to the Norwegian border. Once a natural highway for timber, goods, and travellers, Lelång is still alive with history, stories, and the wild beauty of Scandinavia. Every day, from our window, we’re reminded of this landscape and the timeless journeys it has carried, and it inspires everything we do at Nord Bound.
We believe that the travel community is part of every local community. Even if you aren’t from a place, you can support it in meaningful ways: by visiting, spending time, and making memories. We know the feeling of being overwhelmed by possibilities in a country as vast and varied as Sweden. That’s why we’ve kept a log of places we think deserve more attention, with Dalsland high on that list.
At Nord Bound, we don’t just sell products, we curate tools for adventure. Each piece is chosen to last, to be used, and to become part of your journey. We’re here to offer gear you can count on, stories to take with you, and ideas to make your travels even richer.
