Hiking from River to River

On this two day trip along “Tvåälvsleden” we will hike from Granö to Vindeln, from river to river, carrying everything we need for a nice outdoor weekend. The trip starts early Saturday morning with a bus ride to Granö where the trail starts. We will stop for breaks when we need it, and adjust the pace based on the group. When the sun sets, we pitch our tents and share a dinner we have prepared together in the group. The hike continues on Sunday and when we reach Vindeln, the bus or train will take us back to Umeå again. In total the hike is approximately 25 km along forest trails and smaller dirt roads.

During the pre-meeting we go through all equipment and make eventual adjustments of the packing list, for example depending on the weather.

Much of the equipment is available for rental in our outdoor shop Sarek. As a participant you get a reduced price.
