43 av 60 toppar Det här att jag tappade bort min kamera på Storvigeln har gnagt mig hela tiden. Min hemförsäkring täckte förlusten och jag har nu en ny Sony A6300 (samma modell som jag tappade) och Sony 18-135mm superzoom (objektivet jag tappade var 18-200mm men det fanns inte i lager nånstans i Sverige). Men…
Förra gången jag besökte Sylarna, tog jag den södra leden via Ekorrdörren åt båda håll. Nu ville jag kolla den norra leden i stället, men när jag åt frukost och blickade ut över Sylmassivet, kom jag på att det skulle vara trevligare att ta en genväg genom Slottsdalen och söder från Vaktklumpen, för då skulle…
39 av 60 toppar i Funäsfjällen I många år har jag betat av fjäll som hör till Funäsfjällens ”60 toppar” (över 1000 meter). Jag besteg några toppar innan jag visste om 60 toppar, men de räknas så klart. Fast jag har varit på dessa nybörjartoppar många gånger sedan dess… I och med att antalet toppar…
After the brief scouting trip to Ånnfjällstjärnen earlier this week, it was time to go all the way to the top. Just four days ago the road to Övre Lillåsvallen was partly covered in snow but now it’s all gone. And the trail through the forest, it was more like a brook than a trail…
It’s not officially summer yet, but it could well be. It’s insanely warm. As in, do the reindeer thing and try to find all the snow patches to get some relief from the heat. I did a little after work hiking and got up to the Ånnfjället tarn and found that the ice is just…
From the viewpoint on Hamrafjället yesterday, I saw that there wasn’t much snow left along the trail towards Andersborg. So I should be able to get through, and once on the mountain, it would be easy. So that’s what I did today. But I didn’t get very far before the trail was covered in snow,…
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…
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…
