Sunnerstaåsen

Near the mouth of the Fyrisån River in Lake Mälaren, only 9 km from the center of Uppsala, lies the Sunnerstaåsen outdoor area. It is a small, compact area that has a lot to offer: hiking trails, lighted trails (3.4 km), mountain bike trails (3.5 km), forest, a slalom slope with two lifts and four runs, sledding hill and fireplaces. In the winter, ski trails are tracked along the lighted trail.

The central point and a good starting point is Sunnerstastugan, which from now on is open every day of the week, weekdays 11-18, Saturdays 10-16 and Sundays 12-16. Here you can rent outdoor equipment, such as skis, skates, bicycles, etc. as well as coffee in the café which offers simple dishes, buns and other goodies.

Sunnerstastugan is located by a large pit, an old gravel pit. Sunnerstaåsen is part of the mighty Uppsalaåsen, which stretches through the whole of Uppland. It is at the pit that the nice sledding hills are located and down at the bottom you will find a shelter with two fireplaces, wood storage and picnic tables. There are several fireplaces in the area. If Sunnerstastugan is open, you can ask for firewood there, otherwise you can bring your own to the other fireplaces in the area.

Near Sunnerstastugan is also Mulleriket with adventure stations where young and old can play and discover exciting things in nature. Skogsmullestigen, Skogsmulles koja and Motorikbanan are adapted for people with disabilities.
