Red "Vindelälvsleden" signs.

The Vindelälvsleden trail follows the mighty Vindelälven, one of Sweden's four national rivers. The trail connects the mountain world of Ammarnäs in southern Lapland with the cultural landscape at Vännäsby in southern Västerbotten. Here you cycle through a magnificent nature that connects communities, villages, attractions, fishing spots and excursion destinations.

There are two variants of the trail. The more strenuous mountain bike trail is marked with red signs with the additional text MTB and runs mainly on the south side of the Vindel River, between Sorsele and Selet (about 300 km). For those who want to cycle on a regular bike, there is also a simpler trail that follows roads and paths along the river. Both trails are developed and signposted by the Swedish Cycling Society.

The season is from mid-May to the end of September, but some parts of the trail can also be cycled in winter. No matter when you choose to go, a cycling experience filled with mountain nature, forests, river landscapes and cultural environments awaits you. A journey in one of Sweden's most untouched parts.
