Easy adventures….

Today I will give a heads up for the easy accessible adventures. Ones that you can do just over a short weekend, or just a couple of days.

The first suggestion will be the Sonfjället tour. Here you take the car, and turn it towards Sveg-Hede. It will take you about ~6 hours from Stockholm. Here you can stay at Nysätern mountain cabin. Early morning next day you turn on your headlamp and just outside the cabin the trail starts. Now you follow the foot of the mountain “Gråsidan” northern foot, towards Sododalen. The trail is uphill’s in the beginning and you will take a couple of height meters here. After almost 4 km. you will pass a trail-crossing. Here you can choose to go around Valmfjället or go directly towards Sododalen. After 1.2km more you reach the windshelter. This one is new and with a nice stove (so bring some firewood for a nice rest. From here you cant ascend the 1,5km to the top od Sonfjället with a fantastic view or you can continue towards the wind-shelter (2,2km)close to Medstöten. Or why not do both? Now you have the option to either go to the wind-shelter close to the peak and set up the tent, or use the wind-shelter for a night. Or go the 7,2km back to Nysätern and stay there. Eat breakfast and you are ready to go home with a fantastic mountain experience with you…

The second suggestion will be the peak cabin of Åreskutan. You take the night train from ex. Stockholm at 22.39 and you arrive in Åre 8:33 in the morning. You put on your backpack and walk towards Tottbacken. Follow the trail towards Getvalen and up to Sadeln. You will pass the Lillfjället and Hällfjället on your right side. When you pass the Lillskutan it is time for the challenging part of the day. Here you will have a real uphill part, But with nice weather it is just a pleasure with the view…Soon you reach the top cabin, and you can eat your packed lunch and start the descending. In the evening you jump on the night train towards Stockholm at 19.41 and at 05.47 you weak up in Stockholm with a full day of new adventures…

This week I will test the Montura Bravo2 jacket. This is a heavy duty jacket for mountain adventure. With a lot of pockets and visible areas, it is produced for mountain professionals.
