On the way to the cabin, we stopped at Särvfjället for a small hike. I sent my sis and niece to the nearest peak while dad and I walked in the valley. The weather is cold and wet, so this is not ideal but nothing to do about it.

Well it was bound to happen, the way the weather had been. The mountain tops were covered with snow, this is the first time I’ve seen this in the summertime. Normally I feel lucky if I even see it in September! The snow was melting fast though – it only took a few minutes for…

Dull weather today but I knew it, and had planned to do… pretty much nothing. Just took care of a couple of things in and around the cabin, but otherwise, I was just being lazy. Which is fine, too. But I had to take a picture, obviously, so in the evening I drove to my…

There was a chance to get some sunshine in the evening so I did my favourite hike, around Kappruet. I’m absolutely convinced that there are some great photos to be taken from the south side of the mountain, overlooking the valley with Blåstöten and Ånnfjället in the background. Just add light. It didn’t start very…

It’s midsummer, it’s a three-day weekend and I’m back at the cabin. I had big plans for this weekend – my first ever solo backcountry overnight hike. I was so determined that I wasn’t going to let some cloudy skies or cool weather stop me, but what I had not counted on was a risk…

I had big problems last night with deciding where I would go today. Having stared at the maps all evening, I finally saw an option that I never thought of before so that’s what I decided to do. I drove to Tänndalen and took the snowcat to the Andersborg cabin (and surprise, I did not…

I said yesterday that I wasn’t even feeling thirsty during my trip, but it was apparently just wishful thinking. I got a headache in the evening which only got worse during the night, and it’s the kind of a headache that comes from dehydration and that painkillers don’t cure. So I had a restless night,…

What a contrast it is to the trip in March. Back then it was cold, windy and overcast and now it’s just sunshine from a cloudless sky, hardly any wind to speak of and therefore quite warm, even if the thermometer insisted that it was just a couple of degrees above freezing. By the time…

Easter is a bit late this year, but there’s plenty of snow left in the mountains and the weather forecast is looking good. It didn’t start off too well though, it was overcast and a bit windy so I didn’t have any ambitions to reach the tundra today and settled with following one of the…

My heart sank when I got up. The wind was really bad, even worse than yesterday. I couldn’t breath into the wind and the wind meter at the station indicated median winds of 13-17 m/s. That’s no joke! We really didn’t feel like repeating yesterday’s experience, even if this time it would be a shorter…
