If you\u2019re a keen runner and wish to experience something new, we recommend trying some of the longest trails \u00c5re has to offer. Below is a list of recommended trail running trails for long distance running in a mountainous environment where you\u2019ll also experience magnificent views. Make sure to bring water, energy bars or whatever fills you up with new energy and extra layers of clothing. Also, tell someone what you\u2019re doing, which trail you\u2019ll be on and when you expect to be back. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\n\n

Please note:<\/strong> The trails are laid with boardwalks on wetlands and other mounds that have a tendency to be wet. These are convenient for runners but also protect the ground from wear and tear. Stick to the boardwalks as best as you can and avoid running on wet trails (for example, after a rainfall). It\u2019s also common to see reindeer on and around the trails. Please keep your distance, avoid disturbance and, if possible, choose a different route. Thank you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around \u00c5reskutan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ELEVATION GAIN<\/strong> 970 m | DISTANCE<\/strong> 24,7 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trail around Mt \u00c5reskutan offers a wonderful running adventure over several kilometres, with more descent than ascent. Take the lift up to M\u00f6rvikshummeln for a great starting point, then follow the route towards Stendalen, where you\u2019ll encounter the steepest section of the trail. The path circles V\u00e4sterskutan, offering views over Lake Kallsj\u00f6n, before passing Bjelke\u2019s mines. At the back of \u00c5reskutan, the trail softens underfoot, but dries out again once you\u2019ve rounded Bl\u00e5sten. From there, it\u2019s simply a matter of letting your legs carry you freely towards Bj\u00f6rnen. Turn off towards Totthummeln and follow the Solstigen trail towards the village. From Fj\u00e4llg\u00e5rden, it\u2019s downhill all the way to the square \u2013 where you\u2019ve certainly earned yourself an after-run drink. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

S\u00f6dra Ridvadsrundan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

L\u00c4NGD<\/strong>\u00a014,7 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ridvadsrundan starts in Vallbo (with an alternative starting point at F\u00e5ng\u00e5mon) and takes you through protected forest terrain, making it perfect for days with mixed weather. Instead of mountain peaks, the trail offers a grooved sandy beach by Lake Ottsj\u00f6n. In the middle of the lake lies Sweden\u2019s longest natural ford, Ridvadet. If the summer day is warm, we recommend trying to walk the full distance across the lake. The lakebed is made up of fine-grained sand \u2014 perfect for running. And why not take a swim<\/a> while you\u2019re there? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Around Mullfj\u00e4llet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DISTANCE<\/strong> 19,4 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The feeling of wilderness is strong along the trail around Mullfj\u00e4llet, where you\u2019ll encounter long stretches without footpaths or prepared trails. Begin your ascent in Duved, following the ski system, and prepare for several kilometres of running through untouched nature. Make sure to wear your best trail shoes \u2014 your feet are bound to get wet! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Original Fj\u00e4llmarathon Trail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ELEVATION GAIN 2357 m | DISTANCE<\/strong> 42,4 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Run Fj\u00e4llmaraton\u2019s original route, with a total distance exceeding a full marathon. The trail stretches between the villages of Eds\u00e5sdalen and V\u00e5l\u00e5dalen, crossing three mountains and passing through villages and grazing lands. With over 2,300 metres of ascent, this route demands endurance, determination, and prior experience in trail running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
