There aren’t many mountains where you can hike as yet. The top of the mountain could be ok, but the problem is how to get to the foot of the mountain. Hamrafjället melts early and you can park your car at the foot of it, so I decided to check it out. And it was…

April can be a bit of everything. There’s still plenty of skiing to be done, but hiking is also an option. Well, if you’re desperate like I am. Last week when I was skiing on Flåten, I saw that the ridge of Lill-Skarven was free of snow. No snow = hiking! So today I drove…

When you’re desperate for some hiking, you’ll go through any obstacle to reach the goal… like wading in soft, wet snow up to my thighs. The way up to the top of Funäsdalsberget was a bit more challenging than usual! I actually tried it already last week but then I had to turn back when…

With these warm temperatures we’ve been having, I’ve started visiting the south-east side of Funäsdalssjön to check the birds in the open water. The swans, goldeneyes and mallards arrived a long time ago, but today I finally saw the birds I had been waiting for – cranes! There were eight of them, but I heard…

A little after work skiing on Flåten today in the mild and sunny weather we’ve been having. Had a look at Livsäterån and found some snow patterns which haven’t melted away yet.

So now that’s done – I’ve skied to the top of Ånnfjället! I’ve wanted to summit the mountain with home as the starting point almost since I moved here. And since the mountain has quite friendly slopes on the south side, it is perfect for cross-country skiing. And that makes it much easier to do…

I have done 36 of the ”60 toppar” project so far. #37 will be special – it’s the first one I will do on skis! The nights are still insanely cold. It was -27°C this morning so I was in no hurry at all to leave. The days are very long, so there’s no need…

Kicked off the Easter by checking out the Fjällspåret Nordic Ski trail in Tänndalen. It goes up on the mountain so the views are nice, but alas, the whole thing is spoiled by the lift systems. And because of the lifts, people have easy access to the mountain so there are tracks everywhere, and when…

I had a day off yesterday and went skiing from Bruksvallarna to Fjällnäs in good company. 🙂 It is finally starting to look like it’s supposed to look like in March! Except of course that we have twice as much snow as we normally have in March. The spring will be very interesting to say…

Another thing I’ve been meaning to do for years is to take the path from the north-eastern corner of the Anåfjället nordic ski trail and then ski around Gråstöten. And today I finally did that, I just really wanted to take a good look at Blåstöten which is mostly hidden when you view Anåfjället from…
