Burträsk is a small picturesque village outside Skellefteå, the southern gateway to Swedish Lapland and only half an hour's drive from Skellefteå Airport. The village centre is within walking distance of Burträsk Camping. Burträsks top attraction is undoubtedly the cheese dairy of the world-famous Västerbotten cheese with visitor centre.
