Hiking trails and walks

A good way to keep fit and nourish your soul is to walk and hike. The easiest way is, of course, to start from your own home and explore the surroundings. But Skellefteå municipality also has many fine hiking and walking trails to offer. Even in winter!

The right of public access

Nature is open and accessible to all. This means that you are allowed to be in nature if you show consideration and do not disturb or destroy it.

Many of us spend time in nature, so please take care of each other and nature!
