It had been snowing overnight and the light snowfall continued into the morning. This was just fine by me as I had been aware of the possibility already beforehand and had planned a tour accordingly. No point in seeking great landscapes when nothing can be seen anyway! I drove to Ljusnedal, to the starting point…

You may have noticed that I’m often rather negative about snowmobiles. Partly because I don’t like the snowmobile tracks criss-crossing the scenery everywhere but most of all, I resent the idiots who ride their machines in places where it is specifically forbidden, like national parks and nature reserves. Living in Sweden, and in Los in…

Here’s a dilemma: It’s a beautiful winter day with sunshine. The full moon will rise in the afternoon. You have big blisters on your feet and can’t wear ski boots. Options: Snowshoe hike up to Funäsdalsberget for 360 degree views of the mountains. Problem: The moonrise isn’t until the afternoon so it will be a…

After a solid breakfast, it was time for skiing again. I felt the blisters straight away, but the pain wasn’t intolerable so I proceeded regardless. I took the trail from the hotel and I was aiming for the Andersborg cabin. At first it was easy – just follow the trail. But then at the highest…

I have Friday and Monday off so I can go to the mountains for a long weekend to ski (cross-country). One of my main goals for this holiday is to photograph Mittåkläppen covered in snow, so that’s where I headed first. As I got to Bruksvallarna, I was wondering if it it’s going to work, because…

It was a rare event – a semi-sunny morning. I walked up the Funäsdalsfjället mountain with the aim of taking some panorama images. The peak of the mountain was advertised as the best view in the Swedish mountains and I suspected some hype there, but it turned out to be grand indeed – a 360…

Another week, another mountain range. I drove to Mittåkläppen, parked the car about 1 km past Djupdalsvallen and started walking. After I noticed that the road continued in fine conditions, I was a bit bummed with myself for not driving further. I had never been there before so I didn’t know how it would look…

4 av 60 toppar i Funäsfjällen Ånnfjället är det näst mest besökta fjället i Funäsfjällen, skulle jag vilja påstå. På sommartiden kan parkeringen vara överfull. Så är man nybörjare, då är Ånnfjället en perfekt tur. På den tiden visste jag förstås inte vilken stor roll Ånnfjället skulle spela senare i mitt liv. Nu kan jag…

3 av 60 toppar i Funäsfjällen Jag blev riktigt biten av fjällvandring tidigare i år när jag besökte Funäsfjällen i juni. Då var det klart att jag skulle göra ett nytt besök när höstfärgerna infinner sig. På den tiden var det dock inte självklart att jag skulle åka till Funäsfjällen varje gång, så jag började…

2 av 60 toppar i Funäsfjällen Som en nybörjare är det bra att välja toppar där det rör sig mycket folk. Stor-Mittåkläppen är utan tvekan det mest populära fjället i Funäsfjällen, inte minst pga det fina våffelstugan Djupdalsvallen. Men det är också en kort vandring, blott 2 km, med en bra chans att se blommor…
