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…

I never wear shorts when I’m hiking, no matter how hot the day is. I always have long trousers to minimise the amount of skin on offer for the mosquitoes and other blood suckers. But guess what. For the past week, I’ve been wearing shorts when hiking. No mosquitoes yet! Until today. Got my first…

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…

It’s been raining all day. The water level which was high enough as it was because of the melting snow, is now at levels which happen on average every 50 years. Here in Ljusnedal I think we are spared from any damages to houses (there’s a couple of houses upstream though, close to the river,…

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…

With these warm temperatures we’ve been having, I’ve started visiting the south-east side of Funäsdalssjön to check the birds in the open water. The swans, goldeneyes and mallards arrived a long time ago, but today I finally saw the birds I had been waiting for – cranes! There were eight of them, but I heard…
