Whether you come with the family or as a professional cyclist, there are plenty of untravelled trails to choose from.

Bike week (week 29) and the mountain tour
18 - 20 July, Fjällturen, Sweden's most beautiful cycling race takes place here in Funäsfjällen and we are loading for a week of cycling theme with us and in the area. Read more and book your starting place for Fjällturen now. HERE
Tracks & Trails - Funäsfjällen's own app
The Spår & Leder Funäsfjällen app has everything you need to know about the area's trails, where they are located, how long they are and what level of difficulty they have. To access the trails you need a Fjällpass Ledcykling. You can buy it through the app, and once you're out on the trail, you can use GPS to see where you are on the trail.
TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL CYCLING TRIP
Bring as little luggage as possible to make cycling more enjoyable and to enjoy travelling smoothly through the great outdoors. Cycling helmets are a must, even if the speed is not always that high. Stop every now and then to enjoy the beautiful scenery, cool your face in a mountain stream and eat a tasty lunch in the open air. An extra pair of socks can also be a nice change of clothes. Take a dip in our mountain lake after the tour and treat yourself to something good to eat and drink on Restaurant Áran's terrace as a finale to a good cycling day!

The home kitchen round
Cykelled 432, about 5 km MTB
Level of difficulty: red
Starts easy with lovely flowing cycling down after the power line on the trail 430 Tännäslänken down towards Tännäs village. When you get further down the hill, the trail splits and you follow trail 432 which goes to the right towards the old cable car.
You cycle past the ropeway and then start a slightly tougher uphill section that goes in serpentine turns. After the first steep slope you follow the ski slope uphill and watch out for when the trail bends to the left and comes back into the descent further up after the first section and continues back towards Tännäskröket in the second one.
Remember to look up and enjoy the beautiful views throughout this section and perhaps stop for a coffee.
Now it's just easy and fun cycling back via the flow lanes of the facility.
Tännäskrökets flowtrail
Easy to cycle, accessible and fun park area for both small and big MTB riders with flowing trails that include velodromes and small jumps with a great flow. There is also a slightly longer route that starts a little higher up that starts on a natural shelf with great views of Tännäskröket, Kröktjärnen and K2. You cycle or walk up and get the reward in fun downhill cycling.
Malta's bike cellar
A loop for the youngest children and where the older ones can practice and test if you are used to cycling off-road. It is a lightly cycled and graveled and along the path Maltefigurer cheers on. The start and finish are next to the warming hut at the top of the centre building. There are also benches and a barbecue area where the rest of the family can enjoy a cup of coffee and grill a sausage while the cyclists cycle lap after lap.
Tännäslänken
Cykelled 430, about 4,5km MTB
Level of difficulty: blue
Lightly cycled surfaces with elevation changes mean it can be a little physically challenging, where you'll pick up a little (or a lot) of skin.
The Tännäslänken has two very different characters. Between Härjebrygg and Fiskecentrum, the trail is a mixture of path and old road. The trail passes through beautiful flowery meadows, partly bordered by old farmsteads. The gradient from Fiskecentrum up to the village is steep and you may need to walk some distance. Downhill it rolls along with ease.
Between Tännäskröket and Fiskecentrum, the trail runs largely in a power line street, but also on a gravel road and, in connection with Fiskecentrum, a stretch on asphalt. The power line street has a tricky surface that is fun downhill but quite tough uphill. An alternative is to take the road up to Tännäskröket.
Tännäskröket - Käringsjön.
About 36/48 km, about 5 hours.
Gravel road
Start at the cabin knot at Tännäskröket and cycle towards Tännäs village. Turn off on the gravel road towards Käringsjön/Rogen. The road follows the valley of Mysklan and you will see cranes nesting on the vast marshes. Soon you will enter the Rogen nature reserve, characterised by the Deadis moraine or Rogen moraine as it is also known, with its rugged landscape and hundreds of labyrinthine lakes. Take a break at the water's edge and see how nature is reflected in the surface, which is occasionally broken by the waves of fish.
Loose around
About 55 km, about 4 hours.
Asphalt and gravel road
Take the first pedal outside your door at Tännäskröket and take Krökvägen towards Lossen. The tour is both uphill and downhill, with flatter cycling along the lake level. You pass several sights and cold springs where you can refill your water bottle. If you take the turn to the south, you can finish the bike ride with a refreshing swim at Tjärnbräckan's bathing area before returning home to Tännäskröket.
Tännäskröket - Valmåsen
About 10 km, about 1.5 hours.
This tour goes past the river Tännån, the farms and bathing area of Tjärnbräcka and up to Lake Lossen, which is Sweden's tenth largest power plant dam. Read the information signs about how the village of Valmåsen, with some 15 farms, was transformed into a lake bed.
DO NOT MISS:
Opposite the Fishing Centre is a fitness area with a gym and a pump track. There is also an outdoor gym and a playground.
