The distinctive features of Hälsingland is its moraine-landscape, from the interior to the coastline. The whole coastline is rough because of hard water floods. Hälsingland is also characterized by many peninsulas, necks of land, so called "halsar". "Halsar" translated into English means necks and have probably given the name of the province Hälsingland.

Just between E4 and the coastline you will find the moraine-landscape surging. You will find large areas with a lot of banks. Another thing which is typical for Hälsingland is the high altitudes along the whole coastline. The highest mountain, Garpkölen, is 671 meters high and is situated at Ytterhogdal (the Ytterhog Valley).

The richest parts of the countryside are in the valleys of Ljusnan and Voxnan. There are an abundance of lakes in the area. Orsjön, Kyrksjön, Varpen, Bergviken and Marmen are large water-reservoirs and the landscape is very characterized by water power.
