Bygdsiljum is located in Västerbotten county, in the north of Sweden, approximately half way between the towns of Skellefteå (50 minute drive) and Umeå (60 minute drive). The village is situated at the outlet of the largest lake in Västerbotten and is surrounded by nature and a mischievous wild moose that terrorizes the village every October.

The population of Bygdsiljum is approximately 350 and there are about 110 houses, some of which are available to rent through Bygdsiljum Utveckling (BUAB).

The village also has everything you will need on a day to day basis. There is a local ICA that acts as the chemist, post office and off-license (weekly deliveries from Systembolaget), a café, famous for homemade ice cream and mini golf, with impressive lake views.

The village is probably most well known for its ski hill. Bygdsiljumsbacken is Sweden's largest coastal ski resort and is famous throughout the land as the first place that a Daffy was performed in Sweden. When the snow melts and the ground has some time to dry, the hill turns itself into a bike park for the summer months. Those crazy enough, can rent a mountain bike and ride it down a hill.

The village also has a school for children up to 6th grade, day care for younger children and a church.

It's often also said that Bygdsiljum has more jobs than people and that it's always sunny. One of those is true. Some of the companies in Bygdsiljum include Martinsons, Umesläp and BVS Rör.
