There’s a small mountain (Volldalshöjden, or Volldalshøgda) you pass when you drive across the Sweden/Norway border here. Somehow I’ve managed to miss it all these years (it really doesn’t look like much from the road) but now I finally got my sights set on it. On paper it looked like an easy evening promenade of…

Back to the normal programming, folks! It’s Midsummer’s Eve, a day off, and I spent it in the best possible way – I conquered a new peak! Rödfjället is 1243m and really easy to reach. The hardest part is right in the beginning when you have to go up the slope in Tänndalsvallen, but from…

Did a really nice hike yesterday, from Slättansvallen in Ramundberget to the top of Klasberget. The hike was extra-nice because I was carrying extra-light – no camera gear except my little Panasonic Lumix LX100 compact. I wish I could do all my hikes with such a light pack… but alas, the heavy gear is sometimes needed. As…

One of my big plans is to hike to Skarsfjället, camp by the lake in the ”bowl” and then conquer the peak (or two). It would be the furthest hike I’ve ever done outside any trails and although this should not be a concern, I make it such. Too many unknowns at once, I feel…

I can see Ånnfjället and Gråstöten from my kitchen window. As it was with Blåstöten last year, it has been annoying to see Gråstöten every time I look out the window, but not have been to the peak yet. I conquered Ånnfjället many years ago, in fact it was one of the first mountains I’ve…

Had a friend for a visit for a couple of days, nice with company! As always when I have visitors who are not familiar with Funäsfjällen, the first place I take them is Djupdalsvallen. The idea was to go up Stor-Mittåkläppen so the waffles would be well deserved, but the weather had other ideas –…

Can’t say that I got a lot of rest at night, there are too many new things when sleeping in a tent that I couldn’t really sleep. Earplugs took away the sounds, but it was light and the mattress was uncomfortable and the sleeping bag felt weird and the pillow was too small… I gave…

I drove to Ljungdalen in the morning, the target was to hike up the Södra Gröndörrstöten fell that I missed in the summer. I took the pilgrim trail towards Helags and I got rained on at first, but it was just showers that drew by quickly so I was spared from the same misery as…

This is it, opening of the summer waffle season! I drove to Bruksvallarna and took the toll road to Mittåkläppen. The target for the day’s hike was Lill-Axhögen. There’s a 4-wheeler road that follows the valley to the west, and this road would take me very close to the mountain. But instead of wasting time…

It was going to be one of those rare non-overcast days so I had planned a big hike. I drove to Torkilstöten in Ljungdalen and the idea was that I would hike to Norra (North) Gröndörrstöten and energy allowing, Södra (South) Gröndörrstöten as well. The weather was really dull with no sign of that sun…
