This is finally it! I’m going to conquer Blåstöten and as a bonus, tick off the Storröstgraven ravine from my list. The day was beautiful and warm, but there was some dust in the air which made the sky a bit bland and also the distant mountains where just colourless shapes, nothing I wanted to…

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…

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…

The main reason I came to cabin this early in the season (the season being the late winter) was to try out backcountry ski boots which I will need for the trip in March. I drove to Bruksvallarna and rented boots and skis and then took on the trail up towards Kariknallen. I didn’t like…

I had a day off and headed to the cabin. The first thing was to take the shortest route up to the tundra and once again, I hated the way up. I was sweating buckets and must’ve looked quite beat because a passing snowmobiler took pity on me and asked if I would like to…

What a glorious morning. It had been very cold at night with clear skies, which meant that there was a lovely morning mist that I got to admire through the car window, as I was speeding down to my spot. For many years now I’ve been wanting to take a morning light picture of the…
