It has been raining for two days and it shows – the river is higher now than at the snowmelt peak. But today there was a chance of a sunny break so I headed to Ånnfjället. I needed a mountain which I could access without having to do a long trek through the forest, which…

We almost lost the winter yesterday when it got really warm and it even started raining. But before all the snow was gone, the temperature dipped below freezing at night and it started snowing and I reckon that all the snow that melted yesterday, snowed back down today. Which works great for me! Since it’s…

Did a really nice hike yesterday, from Slättansvallen in Ramundberget to the top of Klasberget. The hike was extra-nice because I was carrying extra-light – no camera gear except my little Panasonic Lumix LX100 compact. I wish I could do all my hikes with such a light pack… but alas, the heavy gear is sometimes needed. As…

Let’s face it, the landscape isn’t very photogenic at the moment so it doesn’t really matter where I go, I can’t have very high expectations on doing any photography. Today was another calm day though so I decided to go a lake and after looking at the map for a while, I decided that Skenören…

We are in between seasons now, but the Andersborg waffle cabin in Tänndalen has been open, until this weekend. So if you want any waffles in the mountains, this is the last chance until the winter season begins! Not one to miss out on the opportunity, I did today’s hike to Andersborg and beyond. Specifically,…

With the weather as it was, I was getting a bit desperate to find good option for hiking. But on Friday night, I finally had a good idea and expanded my search for good weather – and found it in Sonfjället. Well, theoretically anyway. You never know how those forecasts really turn out in reality.…

I had some relatives visit me last weekend. The visit was great, but they brought me an unwanted gift – the flu. I haven’t had a cold in over five (5!) years and whether it’s thanks to my wonderful immune system or carefully avoiding any bugs I can’t say, but now that it was put…

There’s this lake, Bolagen, north-east from Storvigeln. I’ve never figured out why it’s called like that, as the only meaning that I know for bolagen is the plural of bolag = company (as in corporation). But, a rose by any other name… So I went there this morning to see what the lake is like…

One of my big plans is to hike to Skarsfjället, camp by the lake in the ”bowl” and then conquer the peak (or two). It would be the furthest hike I’ve ever done outside any trails and although this should not be a concern, I make it such. Too many unknowns at once, I feel…

Plan A had been to take the northern trail around Sylarna back to Nedalshytta, but I had become increasingly insecure about that option. I spoke with the guys at the reception and they told me that almost nobody uses that trail so I would almost certainly be alone there. There are also some creeks that…
