Pilgrimsleden Västra Värmland, etapp Arvika

The trail passes through all types of terrain - meadows, farmland, small communities, gravel roads, asphalt roads, forest roads, forest paths and past cultural and historical landmarks. Often the surface is old marsh roads with grass in the middle, but also shingle-covered logging roads, forest trails and asphalt or gravel roads for car traffic.

Mostly flat and easy to walk, but along some forest areas the climb can be a little steeper, for example Majsaklätten in Sölje.

According to the pilgrim tradition, the direction of the trail is from south to north, finally reaching Nidaros/Trondheim.
