Kyrkstigen Storuman – Stensele

The church path over Stenseleberget is best walked from the E45, about two kilometers from the junction at Blå Vägen in Storuman. There is a sign by the road and an information board. The path is tracked and easy to walk all the way to the cottage at Sundberg, about one kilometer away. Just before the cottage there is a cold spring for those who are thirsty. The path is poorly visible at the cottage's meadow, but is found straight ahead. Here then begins a climb uphill. After about 2.5 km you cross a gravel road and after 3 km there is a small picnic area by a large pond. Here the sun warms on beautiful days and a liquid break can feel good in this southern slope. After about 4 km you cross another gravel road. This dirt road is called the "day trail" as it is groomed in winter for skiers. After crossing the road, the trail goes over a hygge. Here the view used to be good but the young forest has grown up and now obscures very large parts of the horizon. A power line is crossed and then you come to the so-called "water tower". Here you can choose the gravel road down to Stensele or take the lighted trail back to Storuman. However, Kyrkstigen itself runs along the snowmobile trail down to the village. Once you have crossed the railroad, the signage stops until the church. There are small paths everywhere in the forest, but it is still easy to find your way down to the church, even if you don't arrive exactly where you intended.
