I left relatively early to catch the morning sun in a panoramic spot I discovered the other day. It was windier than anticipated though, but I took the pictures anyway because the scenery is a little bit unusual – the only place along this road between Funäsdalen and Ljungdalen where you can see the Sylarna…

Time to concentrate on the main thing – flowers. Considering the slow progress of all flowers in Loos, I figured there was a risk that I wouldn’t find anything interesting (read: orchids) in the mountains. And I was right, the best I could find all day was some lapland marsh orchids which were in the…

Since it had been a clear night, we now had frost on the ground. Once again I couldn’t resist it but got out with the camera while waiting for breakfast to be ready – now there’s another luxury for you. Wonderful! We were out on the trail before 9am and the frost was still thick…

When I woke up, the first thing I did was to take a look outside. When I saw the morning light on the mountain opposite the lodge, I just had to go out with the camera and get some quick pictures before breakfast. We wanted to get going early because the 19 km from Sylarna…

Weather-wise it looked like we were going to have a lot of luck. No rain, certainly no snow, and calm. The photographer in me would’ve wanted some sunshine, but this was a hiking trip so the most important thing was that we were going to have just the best possible conditions for hiking, couldn’t have…

Seems like it has taken forever but my now almost traditional autumn holiday has arrived. Last year we tried a short return hike to Helags but now we’re ready for something a bit more meaty – the classic Jämtlandstriangel, or the Jämtland Triangle. It’s a 47 km trek between the mountain lodges of Storulvån, Sylarna…

Well, I’m back in the mountains, but this time I’m mingling with the (other) tourists in the popular Fulufjället National Park, the popular part being the Njupeskär waterfall. I’m doing my best to avoid the crowds so I first drove to the Göljån creek which became famous in August 1997 when a record downpour transformed…

Time to concentrate on other flowers than just orchids all the time. The logical place for flowers of all sorts is the Hamrafjället mountain, so I took the trail to the meadows and then up to the peak. This is early in the season and many familiar flowers like the fragrant orchid and moor-king are…

5 av 60 toppar i Funäsfjällen Det har gått tre år sedan den förra toppturen. Nu vet jag om 60 toppar och Stor-Axhögen blev min första topp som jag gjorde specifikt för att det är med i listan. Och Stor-Axhögen är definitivt en mycket större utmaning än de första fyra topparna jag gjorde, så nu…

I love planning but only a fraction of anything I plan ever becomes a reality. This weekend was one of those rare occasions of action, but even now the plan would never have left the drawing board had I not had a friend to come along. We were determined that even the bad weather wasn’t…
