In Siljansnäs, just over ten kilometers from Leksand, there are four cross-country trails with varying terrain and occasionally stunning views of Lake Siljan. The different trails offer small adventures along paths and forest roads, through old-growth forests and cultural landscapes, with the reflection of Lake Siljan in almost every direction.
Siljansnäs is a bit of a miniature Dalarna, with Björkberget and its elevation curves providing a satisfying challenge during cycling. Otherwise, the terrain is mostly family-friendly, featuring both easy and moderately challenging loops suitable for cycling with children and all ages.
Starting point for cycling trails: The starting and finishing point for all loops is the Siljansnäs Ski and Running Club cabin, approximately 300 meters from the church in the center of the village.
Parking: Ample parking is available at Siljansnäs Church, as well as a small parking area for about ten vehicles near the starting point.
Restrooms: Available near the starting point.
Bike wash: Siljansnäs Sockenstuga (backside of the property).
