The wind is really bad today. And when I drove the Mittåkläppen road in the morning, the thermometer showed a generous 4 degrees (well, at least it was above freezing). I had gloves which really were needed, but a cap and some long underwear would’ve also felt nice. On the upside, no mosquitoes! With the…

Roaldstöten is a strange looking small peak next to Blåstöten. I’ve wanted to summit it for a while now, mostly because I’ve wanted to see what it looks like up close. But in the long term, I also want to summit all the named peaks in the Anåfjället massif, and now I have two left…

I don’t want to leave. The lake was mirror calm in the morning and the sun was warm. I couldn’t imagine a better place to be right then! But then again, hiking in this weather through the spectacular Lunndörren was also something I looked forward to. The blister I got yesterday made some noise when…

The clouds were low in the morning, but it wasn’t raining any more. I was going to do a hike to Pyramiderna (the Pyramids) and the Issjödalen valley but since I had the whole day on me, I wasn’t in a hurry to leave while there wasn’t much landscape to be seen. So I just…

Many many years ago I heard about a geological formation called Pyramiderna (the Pyramids) in the Vålådalen nature reserve. I’ve wanted to see them ever since, but as always, I just don’t get it done. About four years ago I even drew a route, but I still didn’t get the actual trip done. And when…

Because it’s not summer until I’ve had a waffle at Djupdalsvallen!

Since I got my new mountainbike, I’ve been wanting to do a bike & hike trip. Rödsjövålen was a good candidate for that, there’s a double-track road from Backvallsvägen to Östvallen, where you continue on foot to get to the top of Rödsjövålen. 17 km by bike, 8 km by foot (return trip). No problems, I…

I’m the queen of planning. And not doing. If I come up with a thing I would like to do, a place I want to see, I can spend hours on finding out the best way of doing it. And then never do it. But now it’s changing – 2017 is the year of experiences for…

You have no idea how much I’ve missed hiking. Every day I see Ånnfjället from my window and I hear it calling me, so it was really almost a relief that I could finally put on my hiking boots and hit the trail. But before I got there, I drove by the crane nest to…

Went for a drive in the evening, in search of birds. I found some, but nothing I could shoot, so I used my telephoto to do a panorama instead. They’ve cut some forest along the gravel road to Tännäs, and the view is spectacular – you can see everything from Stor-Mittåkläppen in the north-west, to…
