When visiting Storuman in the winter, the best way of getting around is by the snowmobile. It's a both easy and fun way to see the nature around Storuman.

When you see this sign, VATTENDRAG, it means that you will cross some frozen water, a lake or a river. Look out for open water or holes in the ice. And remember, never stop for water on the ice, it's better to continue driving and try avoid that area. As long as you have the speed up the snowmobile can run over weak spots.

If you want to take a walk in the forest, but didn't bring the hiking boots, you can always use the wooden paths that you find at some locations.

Well, even if you have the hiking boots on, you will probably use those paths anyway.

This wooden path is about 2 km long and located between the village Långnäset and the lake Mejvansjön near Skarvsjöby.

If going by snowmobile, please look for the route sings as on the photo. If following those signs you know that you will drive on a secure path, not making damage to the nature and maybe most important, you will risk getting lost.

Now and then you will find route sings like this, showing the distance to the nearest village. The distance is always shown in kilometre (km). One mile is 1.609 km.

When a snowmobile route is divided you will find a sign like this, showing directions to all destinations.
