The school
The school desks are gone. The corridors, the tall windows and the high ceilings — still here.
The school closed in 2007. Since 2020 we rent out the whole building to groups who need plenty of space, their own kitchen, their own dining hall — and a setting that feels nothing like a conference hotel.
The main building dates from the 1950s and stands alongside the original school houses from the 19th century. The room names survive from the school days, as does the feel of the corridors — beautiful windows and a full-size gymnasium.
- 53 beds in total
- 9 bedrooms & dormitories
- 72 seats in the dining hall
- 1 group at a time
On site
Far from the city lights — the stars shine bright over the school grounds.
Rooms & beds
Nine rooms with their own names — and their own roles from the school days.
Two old classrooms are dormitories. The rest are family rooms and private suites. 53 beds in total.

The area
Ten kilometres from Tiveden's ancient forest.
The school is in Undenäs, between lakes Viken and Unden. Mossy boulders, quiet mornings, swimming off the rocks — and three kilometres to the nearest jetty.
Tiveden National Park
One of Sweden's most dramatic national parks. Moss-covered boulders, ancient forest and views from Trollkyrka.
Swimming at Näs
The nearest lake swim is a short bike ride away. Jetty and sandy beach.
Boating on Viken & Unden
On request we can arrange a boat and guide on Tiveden's two most beautiful lakes — perfect as a kickoff activity or half-day outing.
Cook together
The kitchen is built for large-scale cooking. We can recommend local suppliers — or catering if you'd rather leave it to someone else.
“Our company has held its kickoff at Valtret two years running. There's something special about cooking dinner together in an old school kitchen.”
“Three generations under one roof, everyone had their own room and we ate every meal in the old dining hall. Magical.”
