Take the whole family out for a run, stopping along the way at babbling streams, scenic viewpoints and other exciting spots. There\u2019s no need to rush when running with children \u2013 the most important thing is to have fun! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always with activities involving kids, it\u2019s a good idea to have a tasty, energy-boosting snack in your pocket for when their legs start to tire. Here, we suggest a few easier trails that are also perfect if you\u2019re not yet an experienced mountain runner. <\/p>\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

Trails to Lill\u00e5dammen and Byxtj\u00e4rn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DISTANCE<\/strong> 7 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trail 221 takes you towards Lill\u00e5dammen and Byxtj\u00e4rn and is ideal for running with children or if you\u2019re new to trail running. The trail starts at Fr\u00f6\u00e5 Gruva<\/a> and, after a few kilometres, it splits towards the two different tarns. Byxtj\u00e4rn is a little closer, while Lill\u00e5dammen offers a slightly narrower path and is a bit further away. To save energy, we recommend walking on the uphill sections and running where possible. The return journey is mostly downhill. You follow the same route back to the starting point (the distance given is for the full return route). The perfect reward after your run is the lunch served at Bergstugan in Fr\u00f6\u00e5!<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solstigen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ELEVATION<\/strong> 160 m | DISTANCE<\/strong> 3,9 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Solstigen is one of the locals\u2019 favourite trails and has been in use for over a century which means it\u2019s well-trodden. Begin your run at the funicular (Bergbanan) mountain station by Fj\u00e4llg\u00e5rden and continue through the forests on the slope of Totthummeln. Circa halfway through, the trail turns and takes you down to \u00c5re Square via a nice village road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00c5torpsrundan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

ELEVATION<\/strong> 90 m | DISTANCE 4,2 km<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fr\u00f6\u00e5 Gruva, with its open-air museum built around the old copper mine, offers plenty of options when it comes to trails for both running and hiking, especially for beginners and younger runners. The \u00c5torpsrundan trail runs through the forest from Fr\u00f6\u00e5 Gruva and loops back again. We recommend stopping at the shed, where you\u2019ll find a barbecue area with plenty of wood available for anyone to use \u2013 the perfect spot to refuel with your food of choice. Be sure to take some time to explore the open-air museum as well! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
