Description

This is a route around the whole of Lake Storsjön - Sweden's fifth biggest lake. The route follows predominantly main and smaller roads.

Starting and finishing in Stortorget in the centre of Östersund you will travel round the whole of the lake by following this route.

In the North West corner of the lake after 135.6km there is the possibility of doing a river crossing on an unpowered boat (which you would need to supply) to reduce the distance by circa 14km. This cuts out the lake called Ockesjön, which is a lake in its on right. As there is no bridge at the end of this lake if you wanted to run round the whole of Storsjön you would need to incorporate Ockesjön into the run, but there is a short cut if you are willing and able to safely pass over the part of the lakes that meet at Ockeströmmen.
