Welcome to Bergs Municipality - Municipality of the Year 2024!

Two-thirds of our population live outside our urban areas, and we do not see the municipality's sparsity as a hindrance but as an opportunity! Here, you can find magnificent nature close by, a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and an active cultural and community life. For those who want the city's offerings and communications, Östersund is just a stone's throw away. The South Sámi culture, reindeer husbandry, and language are an important part of the municipality's identity.

As an employer, all municipal operations are based on our five guiding principles: togetherness, courage, effectiveness, communication, and long-term thinking. Our guiding principles are designed to be our compass and guidance in always promoting trust and a good organizational culture with the citizen in focus.

At bergsliv.se, we have gathered inspiring reports about people living in the municipality and facts about our urban areas. Welcome to find your dream life with us in Bergs Municipality!
