A hike where you mostly wander along narrow roads between small villages. Siljansnäs consists of many villages where red houses are clustered closely together. Almo is one of the oldest, with several old storage buildings that are now declared historical monuments.
Section Stage 13 Granbergs Fäbodar-Siljansnäs
Starting Point: Granbergs Fäbodar
Ending Point: Siljansnäs Church
Length: 11 km
Difficulty Level: Blue, medium.
An easy hiking trail also suitable for biking.
Estimated Time: 3 hours 40 minutes
Description:
From Granbergs Fäbodar, the trail leads toward the top of Granberget ski slope. Here, you’ll have a breathtaking view of the area, with Byrviken and Siljansnäs in the foreground and Storsiljan in the distance. You descend through the ski slope and then follow a longer stretch on a gravel road around Mackberget before the trail branches off onto paths leading to the village of Almo.
From Almo, you can choose an alternate and shorter route to Olsnäs Farm, where overnight stays are possible. The route follows small country roads through the agricultural landscape to Åkmyran. From there, the trail follows a smaller forest path along Åbäcken toward Olsnäs. For the final stretch toward Olsnäs Farm, you follow the shoreline promenade alongside Olsnäsviken.
Facilities:
Outhouse at Granbergs Fäbodar. Toilet and drinking water at Siljansnäs Church.
Note: The steep ski slope at Granberget is unmarked. The final stretch to Siljansnäs Church has yet to be marked and signposted in the terrain.
Visit Dalarna is not responsible for the trail or its maintenance. Keep in mind that trails are affected by the season and weather conditions, so check the conditions before heading out on your hike.
