Stay with us during StoChampionatet
During the StoChampionat weekend, harness racing fans come from all over Sweden to Axevalla, and from us it is only seven minutes by car to the track. When the day's races are over, you come back to a calm campsite by the lake, where you can take an evening dip and sit outside for a while before it is time to head back to the track.
Close to the track, calm by the lake
The racetrack is full of life all weekend, and many people want to stay a little way from the crowds. Many of our guests during StoChampionatet are regulars who come back year after year, precisely because it is calmer here when evening comes. You stay by Lake Husgärdessjön with your own bathing spot, and if you like, you can book the wood-fired sauna on the jetty after a long day by the home straight.
Our camping pitches are 10 × 15 metres, and several are considerably larger, so there is plenty of room for a caravan or motorhome with the car beside it. Electricity is included on all pitches. If you come as a larger party, for example a stable or a group of friends, Valle Hus has room for up to 18.
Book early. The weekend is almost always fully booked. If you want to stay close to each other, book at the same time and contact us afterwards, and we will place you close to each other as far as space allows.
StoChampionatet and Axevalla harness racing track
Harness racing's big summer weekend
StoChampionatet is one of the big races in Swedish harness racing, a race for four-year-old Swedish-bred mares held at Axevalla every summer. It closes the StoChampionat weekend, three days on the third weekend of July with many races, entertainment and plenty of people in the stands.
Axevalla is one of Sweden's larger harness racing tracks, and it has racing during the rest of the year too. The restaurant above the home straight has a view straight out over the track, so an evening of racing and dinner is a good way to see a competition, even if you have never been to the trotting before.
