Isälvsleden

Isälvsleden stretches for 55 km between Vindeln and Åmsele, suited for hiking and mountain biking. The trail takes you through a landscape shaped by ancient glaciers; majestic eskers, rolling dunes, ancient coniferous forests with several centennial pines, and lakes with inviting sandy shores. Isälvsleden is varied and follows old paths, trails, and small roads through beautiful and easy terrain. There are great fishing opportunities along the way (fishing license required). Several rest areas and shelters are found along the trail, as is an overnight cabin with four beds which are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Along the route you will find sights like active mud volcanoes at Lerfallet, the enchanting old pine forest in the Valfrid Paulsson Reserve, and one of Västerbotten’s largest sand dunes at Juvikskammen. At Djupsund await boats for an exciting water crossing where you must row across to continue your journey. The trail is suited for both hiking and mountain biking during the snow-free season, and it can be experienced either in full or as shorter sections. Experience a piece of Västerbotten’s natural history!

Management and maintenance of Isälvsleden is handled by Friluftsfrämjandet in Vindeln.
