Snowmobile trails in Boden
In Boden, local snowmobile clubs maintain the trails. Riding on marked trails is the safest way to travel and helps protect wildlife, nature, and other people.
Snowmobiling is not included in the public right of access. You may ride on well-snow-covered and frozen ground as long as you do not damage land, forests, or disturb the surroundings. It is prohibited to ride on forest or agricultural land if there is a risk of damage.
Motorcycles and ATVs with wheels are not allowed on snowmobile trails.
Snowmobile restrictions
Snowmobiles are not allowed on ski tracks, ski facilities, or in their immediate surroundings.
On private roads, the owner may prohibit motor vehicles. Such restrictions must always be clearly marked with signs, gates, or other information.
