Skiing in nature

With a pair of touring skis you can go almost anywhere in Härnösand's beautiful nature. A pair of regular cross-country skis is often fine too.

A popular area for "free" skiing is Fälleberget with its mountainous nature.

Another popular free skiing activity is to take a trip on the ice of Södra Sundet when the spring-winter sun is shining. Just remember to make sure the ice is thick enough.
