Hiking in Aspliden

Aspliden is a village with a long history, located close to the former mining community of Kristineberg.

The area is vibrant and alive, with horses, sheep, and chickens, and offers inviting opportunities for an active outdoor life. During the summer, you can hike along the lit trail (elljusspåret) or up to Asphyddan, located on Hornberget, where you are rewarded with a fantastic view. The hike can be extended further up the mountain, then continue along the path beneath the old cableway down to Linbanevägen and back into the village.

There is also a pleasant hiking route, Vinmyrvägen, which leads to an old summer barn/cabin located on a hay meadow. All of these trails are also suitable for cross-country skiing in winter, and parts of them are shared snowmobile trails. During winter, a longer track is prepared for dog sledding and skiing.
