Vaermland County in western Sweden borders Norway and covers a large, mostly forested area with a population of approximately 322,000. Karlstad, the county seat and only city of significant size, has about 97,000 residents and sits where the Klaralven river meets Lake Vanern. The rest of the county is rural, with scattered towns such as Kristinehamn, Arvika, Hagfors and Sunne. Vaermland is traditionally associated with forestry, paper production and steel, though Karlstad has diversified into services, education and IT.
Karlstad University enrolls around 16,000 students and provides a younger demographic in an otherwise aging county. The city centre along Ostra Torggatan and Kungsgatan offers hotels and restaurants that serve as meeting points. The annual Varmlandsloppet cross-country ski race and the Ransater heritage fair are regional cultural events.
