I have a four day weekend without any specific plans. Everything depends on the weather and it doesn’t look so good… my main target currently is Skarsfjället, which I’ve decided to do as a day-hike. It’s long (about 24 km, if I use the bicycle to Klinken), but perfectly doable. But, Skarsfjället is often shrouded in…

Last night the weather forecast had promised sunshine all day and even on Sunday. This morning it said that it would get cloudy in the afternoon and rain in the evening. Yikes! I didn’t feel like having a long breakfast, I really wanted to get going so I could reach the peak before the clouds…

Yesterday morning I looked at the weather forecast and saw how the weekend was going to be absolutely brilliant. The first thing in my mind was, Helags! The second thing… I’m on call this week. For a moment I felt sorry for myself for missing a great opportunity, but then I decided that there’s no…

A rainy day today, with clouds so low that you could barely see above the tree line at all. Not the ideal weather for hiking up to a peak of any mountain, but I stand firm with my earlier decision to put hiking first and photography second, so I hiked up to Stor-Mittåkläppen. Granted, it…

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…

The last update from the Crane Watch: still incubating. I’m off to Svalbard tomorrow and by the time I get back, the crane babies have hatched for sure and the family will be long gone from the nest. But I hope I have some other animal pictures – bird or otherwise – to show when…

It has been raining for two days and it shows – the river is higher now than at the snowmelt peak. But today there was a chance of a sunny break so I headed to Ånnfjället. I needed a mountain which I could access without having to do a long trek through the forest, which…

We almost lost the winter yesterday when it got really warm and it even started raining. But before all the snow was gone, the temperature dipped below freezing at night and it started snowing and I reckon that all the snow that melted yesterday, snowed back down today. Which works great for me! Since it’s…

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…
