Description
Hiking in Sälen and Fulufjället National Park is a comprehensive guidebook to Sweden’s southernmost mountain regions. The book is written in Swedish and is suitable for families, beginners, and experienced hikers who want to explore the Sälen Mountains, Fulufjället National Park, and the Södra Kungsleden trail.
The Sälen Mountains are known as Sweden’s largest winter sports area, but in the summer, the landscape transforms into a diverse hiking terrain with open mountain expanses, ancient forests, clear mountain lakes, and views of miles of wilderness. The area offers both short, easily accessible day hikes and longer hikes far from the most popular trails.
The book features a wide selection of day hikes in the Sälen Mountains, including trails outside the most well-known ski areas and into the beautiful Norra Transstrandfjällen. It also describes a number of hikes in Fulufjället National Park, accessible from both Swedish and Norwegian entry points. Here you’ll find, among other things, Njupeskär—Sweden’s highest waterfall—ancient pine forests, and some of the world’s oldest living trees.
A separate chapter is devoted to Södra Kungsleden, the southern section of the classic Kungsleden. The guide describes the twelve stages between Högfjällshotellet in Sälen and Grövelsjön Fjällstation, with practical advice on route selection, planning, and accommodations.
*Hiking in Sälen and Fulufjället National Park* was written by Jakob Falkerby, a journalist and passionate outdoor enthusiast. He has extensive experience with hiking, biking, kayaking, and skiing, and shares both practical local knowledge and inspiration for exploring the lesser-known parts of Sweden’s southernmost mountain regions.
The book was published in 2023, is written in Swedish, and is one of the most comprehensive guidebooks to the Sälen Mountains, Fulufjället, and the Södra Kungsleden.
